Locals reportedly found using drugs near minors

Published 12:00am Tuesday, September 18, 2012

VIDALIA — Two Vidalia women were arrested this weekend after narcotics agents found them smoking methamphetamine in the presence of two minors.oxidation

Concordia Narcotics Task Force agent Lt. Greg Jackson said he and other deputies went to a North Grove Road house Friday at approximately 11 a.m. with an arrest warrant in reference to alleged drug activity in the presence of minors.

The warrant was issued for the arrest of April Latham McEntyre, 32, 115 N. Grove Road.

Jackson said when agents arrived at the house they found McEntyre and Danielle A. Stampley, 33, with suspected methamphetamine in a back room.

“The kids, a 16-year-old and a 5-year-old, were running free while drugs were being used in the house,” Jackson said. “After they consented to a search of the house, we found more suspected methamphetamine, a meth pipe and a quantity of Xanax with no prescription.”

McEntyre was booked on charges of possession of schedule IV controlled substance with intent, possession of paraphernalia, two counts of possession of schedule II controlled substance (meth and Adderall) and improper supervision of a minor.

Stampley, 419 Ash St., was booked on bench warrant for failure to pay judiciary probation fees for careless operation, probation hold violation and charges of possession of schedule IV controlled substance with intent, possession of paraphernalia, two counts of possession of schedule II controlled substance (meth and Adderall) and improper supervision of a minor.

Jackson said the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services were called to take custody of the two children.

No bond was set for McEntyre or Stampley as of Monday afternoon.

    Oh they will be out running around in a day,  Vidalia does not take this serious if they did they would do a better job of sweeping the neighborhoods cause I am pretty sure you could find 10 houses in the same area doing the same thing, heck they make it and sell it also.  There are more drugs in this area than you would ever want to know.  I would love to know how they afford it and be on welfare at the same time.  Thats why they need to drug test these folks SURPRISINGLY not scheduled.

    I had to take a drug test to receive money for my work; why shouldn’t people who get welfare money have to take a drug test?

    You know, I reed the articals in The Democtat…I didn’t realize just how missinformed the people that write them are. Or..did you add to the story so that it would sound more interesting?

    First of all…. Nobody was smoking anything “in the presents of minors” the two women where sleeping when the officers arrived. (I don’t think meth makes you sleep)

    Second…the “suspected” meth that they said they found, wasn’t even meth. As a matter of fact the officers knew it wasn’t meth..and if they don’t know what meth looks like then they are in the wrong business…

    The meth, intent and improper supervision charges was dismissed on April yeasterday when “the officer” couldn’t provide meth to the Judge. Because there wasn’t any.

    Its a shame when things like this are in the paper and they are not even true. And to the guy that wrote this artical…..I wouldn’t take anymore info from the person that gave you this. Because even before the charges where dissmissed, half of what was said was not true.

    Yeah, there should have been pictures because there is no real way for me to describe them to you with any accuracy and not have my comment pulled.  Google and Facebook will tell you all you need to know.

    READING THIS ARTICLE AND READING apristinalee COMMENT, CREATE DOUBT IN MY MINE. I NEVER LOOK AT ALL ARTICLES ARE CORRECT, SO AS COMMENTS. BUT I DON’T PUT ARTICLES ABOVE COMMENTS. MY *PERSONAL* FEELING: THERE’S IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS ARTICLE.

    Thank you dave07deuce07, the artical also states that the officers went to the house with and arrest warrant for April, when they actually went with the warrant for Stampley….

    Wow, what fine, outstanding and upstanding pillars within the community.  Losers…

  • vilou09

    You mean the kids didn’t even get to smoke their presents?!

  • vilou09

    Also, you are not denying that there was a pipe used to smoke illegal drugs where children were, nor are you denying that these people had whatever could be construed as meth (bath salts, maybe?), as well as other prescription drugs that nobody had a prescription for… IN the “PRESENTS” of children. LOL.

    You people always stick up for each other when really, you’re all guilty, filthy little drug dealers and users

    Nope, not even bath salts were found….and I’m not saying that they shouldn’t have been arrested, what I am saying is that this artical is wrong.  And….I am “sticking up” for what I know as truth….

    ok….there was no meth…look at for the record.  They were not arrested for meth.  But trust me they aren’t angels.  And yes they went there for Danielle Stampley for not paying her fines.  And yes they were asleep.  I also agree not upstanding pillars of the community but this article is filled with untruths.  And I promise I know the details.

    the democrat is the most read paper in the ms lou. area yet it has the most lies and people judge them on these lies whatever it takes to sell a story they add to it change facts etc. they should be the ones in jail for the damages they do to peoples lives you can find this in every case they report on if the people who pay for these lies would make them report on how cases came  out in court but then the public would sh t when they found out their elected judge sold out the public and let most go no matter what truths evidence or facts they have on the offender . another thing everybody knows that when you add greg jackson to the story even the judges know the story is not true and most evidence found he brought to the scene and claims that the dope gods told him where to look most of the time out of his pockets the dope gods told him where to put it oh well we will see how most of this turns out  my money is on the offenders out in less then 90  days on probation and doing the same thing everyday that got them in trouble to start with mr circle jerky george pircky aka lil lindsey

    you are right…except that April was arrested for meth…Its funny because the dog went thru the house and didn’t find anything..then the officer claimed that he found it in a place where the dog would have surely found it.  I wasn’t there, but I know the details too.

    i totally agree they should be locked up….I was just saying that the truth needs to be printed.  I am the last person that will be defending them.  No where in my statement did I defend them.  Just stated that the community needs to be able to read the truth.  I feel terrible for those children. And I hope and pray they are taken care of.  Thats truely the tragedy here, is these children.

    I think she might have been talking about me defending April, I’m not defending her actions at all. All I’m saying is that she should have been arrested on the correct charges and not the ones that the officers came up with…As far as the children…they are fine, it does bother them…they are strong kids…  As far as Danielle Stamply, I would never even try to defend her..

    Take it up with the po-po, Mike.  All the Democrat did was print what the police told them.  I’d be ticked off too but point it at the right folks.
