WARFIELD — Martin County deputies arrested three individuals on drug charges Monday at Dempsey Housing in Warfield.

The officers went to the location after receiving an anonymous narcotics trafficking tip and information that a suspect with several active warrants was on the premises.

Upon arrival, the homeowner, Lucille Mills, 47, stated there were no drugs on the premises and nothing was happening.

The investigation uncovered methamphetamine, suboxone, unidentified pills and drug paraphernalia.

Police arrested Mills and Kermit residents Bill Spaulding, 49, and Allen Brewer, 45.

The three are charged with possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. Brewer was arrested on a fugitive from another state warrant and two bench warrants.

Chief Deputy Chris Kidd and Deputies Chris Sesco and Alex Adams made the arrests.
