Sheriff: "Marked money," meth found in Byrd house | Crime

He may have been wearing camouflage when he was arrested, but Cress Lee Byrd apparently could not hide from Lawrence County sheriff’s deputies.

Deputies arrested 51-year-old Byrd on Wednesday, July 11, after serving a search warrant at his home on County Road 214 near Annieville.

According to Sheriff Jody Dotson, deputies and the 3rd Judicial Drug Task Force found drug paraphernalia and “marked drug buy money that had been used to purchase meth” inside Byrd’s home.

Byrd was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and delivery of a controlled substance (meth).

He’s scheduled to appear in Circuit Court on August 9.
