Two area residents facing felony charges following the execution of a narcotics search warrant on April 12, 2021, are due in court.
Authorities say they seized methamphetamine and marijuana, along with numerous drug-related items- including three sets of digital scales; several used syringes; numerous glass smoking pipes; and a gun with ammo at a Lake Lafayette residence.
According to court documents, William J. Neeley Jr., of Greenwood, is charged with felonies for drug trafficking or attempt in the first degree and unlawful possession of a firearm; and two drug-related misdemeanors. His bond remains $150,000 cash or surety.
Also, Sarah K. White, of Odessa, is charged with a felony for drug trafficking or attempt in the first degree and two drug-related misdemeanors. White posted $25,000 surety bond on May 14. However, her bond was revoked on June 9. The court then reset her bond at no bond.
Each defendant pleaded not guilty last year.
Neeley and White are scheduled to appear for plea/trial-setting hearings at 9 a.m. Monday, March 21, at Lafayette County Circuit Court.
