Two Missouri men are on ice in the Lawrence County Jail after deputies say they found “ice” in their car.

On Monday, sheriff’s deputies arrested 41-year-old Goldman Truett of Dexter and 30-year-old Shawn Pridemore of Chillicothe for possession of a controlled substance (meth ice) and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The arrests followed a traffic stop near Portia.

According  to Sheriff Jody Dotson, while talking to the two men, the deputies noticed burnt tin foil strips in the vehicle that are consistent with meth use.

Sheriff Jody Dotson says on Tuesday deputies arrested 40-year-old Michael Barnard at his home near Annieville.

Barnard was apparently not surprised when deputies knocked at his door.  According to Sheriff Dotson, Barnard first asked the deputies why they were there.  When they answered “you know why we are here,” Barnard reportedly said “the pot plants.”
