FRANKLIN OFFICER ARRESTS WIFE ON DRUG CHARGES

Spouse Found At Friend's Home With Drugs, He Says

FRANKLIN - A Franklin police officer's wife faces drug charges after
she was arrested last weekend by her husband at the home of an
acquaintance of the couple.

Gina Dunham, 38, was arraigned Tuesday in Franklin Municipal Court on
three counts of drug abuse and one count of drug paraphernalia, all
misdemeanors. She is free on $1,400 bond.

Police said Dunham had two Didrex - an amphetamine - in her
possession as well as some marijuana and a smoking device.

Also arrested was Robert A. Henderson, 31, of 119 Highridge Court,
Franklin. He faces felony charges of possession of cocaine, tampering
with evidence and obstructing official business. He was also
arraigned in Municipal Court and freed on $10,000 bond.

Patrolman Steve Dunham stopped by the apartment of Richard and Brenda
Wheeler at 309 Oxford Road about 8:30 p.m. to talk to his wife, who
he knew was visiting there, police said. He knocked at the door and
when it was opened, he could see his wife and Henderson in the
kitchen with what appeared to be a white powder and pills on the
table, police said.
