Published: December 7, 2008
Three Ariton residents believed to have used high-tech surveillance to avoid being arrested were each charged with trafficking drugs in Barbour County on Friday, according to a press release from the Barbour County Sheriff’s Office.
Marcus Lavell Brown, 30, Adrian Artey Johnson, 33, and Angela Denise Liptrot, 27, remained in Barbour County Jail under no bond after deputies and narcotics investigators recovered three pounds of “high-grade” marijuana on Doster Spur, near Ariton, according to a release from Chief Sheriff’s Deputy Eddie Ingram.
The residence had been under surveillance for several days, according to the release.
Scales, two handguns, more than $1,000 in cash, a four-wheeler, computer and surveillance equipment were also recovered.
The release said Barbour County was assisted by Ozark Police Department.
