Three Arrested in Nacogdoches County Meth Bust

NACOGDOCHES — Three people were arrested Wednesday night after a deputy responding to a call of suspicious activity went to a home and smelled the “distinct odor of chemicals associated with the manufacture of methamphetamine,” Nacogdoches County Sheriff Thomas Kerss said. According to KETK and the Nacogdoches Daily Sentinel, Deputy Ben Curtis then asked for permission to enter the home off CR 784 near Douglass. Curtis was let inside and saw more items that confirmed his suspicion of meth, Kerss said. “He called for backup, we conducted a search, found the meth lab and found a little over a gram of produced product and the three individuals were arrested,” Kerss said.

Stephen Ray Savell, 34, of Nacogdoches, Joseph Todd Wynne, 27, of Douglass and Kristy Michelle Wynne, 31, of Nacogdoches, were all charged with third-degree felony possession of a controlled substance and second-degree felony possession or transport of chemicals with intent to manufacture methamphetamine. Each remained in the Nacogdoches County Jail at last report, and bond had not been set.
