Arrest for felony possession of a controlled substance
 |
| Samuel Lyon |
On Dec. 11 an arrest warrant was issued for Samuel Lyon, 34, Lowry City, charging him with a class C felony of possessing a controlled substance. The charge stems from an incident on Dec. 10 on East Fourth Street, Lowry City, when deputies responded to a call regarding a domestic assault. The investigation revealed there was a dispute between Lyon and his father in reference to a water gun that Lyon's son allegedly used inside the residence.
While a deputy was speaking with Lyon, a small metal smoking pipe was observed. Lyon admitted he “smokes a lot of weed.” A search was conducted and it took deputies several hours to seize the evidence. While conducting the search Lyon laughed and stated it would take “all day to take it all.” Marijuana along with a small metal spoon was located. The spoon tested positive for methamphetamine.
An estimated over 100 other items associated to marijuana and methamphetamine use were located and seized as evidence. Items commonly used to manufacture methamphetamine were also located and seized inside the residence. Lyon was taken into custody and transported to the St. Clair County Jail. Lyon's father gave consent to search the rest of the residence and nothing was located.
