Don Wright has always been a no-good thief and liar but I do feel sorry for his wife cause she is nice, naive, but really nice. Now he got stupid and is gonna get himself sent off and leave her with little kids and a young baby to take care of by herself....what an idiot!!!

That's always a bad situation. Unfortunately it may be better off for the children involved. Those kids won't have to grow up around a meth head role model.

I swear I will never be able to wrap my brain around the overwhelming stupidity of some of our area criminals. I have never had a warrant out for my arrest but I am pretty much assuming that if you had done something to merit getting one put out on you, you would know it, especially a parole/probation violation. So..............if you know there's a pretty good chance, as in it could happen any time, why would you leave crap out that is gonna ensure going back to the big house Here's a hint dopers: if the cops are on their way and you know that they are, PUT YOUR ILLEGAL STUFF AWAY!!!

Two people are in custody after being arrested at a Vernon home Saturday night on methamphetamine related charges. Patoka Police Chief Beau Frazier says the arrests came after several hours of surveillance of the home of 28-year-old Conrad Wynn at 224 'B' Street where police allegedly saw methamphetamine being manufactured. Wynn is being held for alleged possession of methamphetamine precursors, participation in meth manufacture, methamphetamine conspiracy, possession of meth manufacturing materials, possession of anhydrous ammonia in an unapproved container, unlawful use of property, and meth manufacturing waste.

27-year-old Jessica Flowers of South College Street in Brownstown was also at the residence. She was arrested for alleged participation in meth making. Frazier says there were three different 'cooks' of methamphetamine that took place in a shed behind the Wynn home. The Marion and Fayette County Sheriff's Departments joined Frazier in completing the surveillance.

The State Methamphetamine Task Force was called in to clean up the lab as well as the waste that had apparently been dumped from earlier cooks. Wynn has also been charged with theft. A metal detector stolen from the Patoka Village Shed during a burglary was allegedly found at Wynn's home. Wynn was also on parole for possession of meth precursors. He had been released from prison in 2006. Frazier says the bust shows methamphetamine manufacturing in the area is still an on-going concern.
