Levy County Shuts Down Meth House
Remembering the Past
On January 31, 2014 the Levy County Sheriff s Office Patrol Di-
vision and Criminal Investigations Division located 4 individuals produc-
ing methamphetamine at a home located at 3491 NW 57 Court Chiefland, Fl.
Arrested are John Solomon Hall W/M 12-19-70, Nicole Smart W/F 1-31-82,
Calah Crandall W/F 6-31-89 and Paula Jerram W/F10-9-59. All are facing
multiple charges including manufacturing and possession of methamphet-
Jerram
amine with the intent to sell.
Units responded to this location while conducting follow up investiga-
tions into recently reported burglaries in the area. Investigators developed a lead
that directed them to this location. It was suspected that the burglar used this
home to sell or stash recently stolen property. While conducting their investiga-
tion, they discovered the occupants were involved in illegally manufacturing
Crandall
meth in the home and in shed on the property.
