A domestic violence call turned into a big drug bust for the Adams County Sheriff’s Office Thursday evening.

Deputies got a call about a woman being assaulted at her house.

The woman told deputies that the man had become angry after being confronted about seeing another woman, according to a sheriff’s office report. He allegedly choked her until she was unconscious. When he let go, she fled from the residence, the report says.

When deputies arrived, they found items used in creating crystal methamphetamine, Adams County Sheriff Ronny Brown said Friday.

Deputies found burned barrels filed with “a lot of trash commonly associated with the manufacturing of methamphetamine,” the report says. They also found a plastic bag in the house that contained what appeared to be items used to make meth, according to the report.

Deputies arrested the woman’s husband, Johnny Patrick Thorpe, 37, 3601 Eastbrook Road, on charges of probation violation and manufacturing crystal methamphetamine. No bond has been set.

According to the report, ACSO contacted the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics. When MBN officials reached the scene, they confirmed there had been meth produced at the residence. The sheriff’s office handed the case over to MBN.

“You always call the state in when you have a meth lab,” Brown said. “It’s a big job.”

The sheriff’s office is looking into what seem to be stolen items, like computers and cell phones, found at the residence, Brown said.

MBN will also handle the case of Thorpe’s wife, Ashley Thorpe. Ashley Thorpe is the daughter of a sheriff’s office employee, Brown said.

“It was just too close to us,” he said.

Thorpe was on probation from Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office, Brown said.

Ashley Thorpe was not arrested pending a medical exam for a possible miscarriage, according to the sheriff’s office report. Any arrest warrant will be signed by MBN.
