Drug bust nets six suspects

By STEPHANIE MOJICA

Six people were arrested Thursday by Clark County Sheriff’s Department deputies on suspicion of manufacturing methamphetamine, officials said.

An officer saw the car of James A. Fouts, 44, parked at a residence in the 24000 block of Ind. 62 in Nabb, said Maj. Chuck Adams in a news release Friday. The officer knew Fouts was wanted for failure to appear in Clark Superior Court No. 3, and also had received information that a methamphetamine lab was operating out of that residence, Adams said.

The officer saw several lights on at the property and called for backup. Three deputies joined the officer and they knocked on the door and announced their intent to arrest Fouts for failure to appear, Adams said.

At that point, a group of people fled the residence, but were located and arrested. Billy J. Smith, 36, Dora L. Vibbert, 36, Timothy L. Webster, 34, and Travis D. Smith, 18, were caught, Adams said.

After a search warrant was secured, authorities found several items involved in methamphetamine production, Adams said. Further information was not available as of publication deadline.

Fouts, Vibbert, Webster, Billy Smith and Travis Smith were booked into Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex.

Another woman — whose picture but not name was included in the news release — was arrested on suspicion of manufacturing methamphetamine. A request for further information on her identity was not answered by deadline.
