Scott County Sheriff Rick Walter reports an Oran mother and son arrested on Drug Charges.

The mother has been arrested for the Class B Felony of Distribution of a Controlled Substance and the Class B Felony of Possession of a Controlled Substance. Her son has been arrested for the Class C Felony of Possession of a Controlled Substance.

Sheriff Walter states that on Saturday, March 5, 2016 deputies went to the residence, in Oran, after receiving information of drug activity at the residence. Deputies made contact with the mother. She gave the deputies permission to search her residence, property, and vehicles.

During the search of her vehicle, deputies located a metal “aspirin” container with orange and pink prescription pills in it. It was determined both pills were Aderol, which is a controlled substance. She told deputies she knew the pills were controlled substances and she did not have a prescription for them.

The son was present also and gave permission, to the deputies, to search his vehicle. Located in his vehicle was a metal “aspirin” container that matched the container located in his mother’s vehicle. Inside the container was a partial piece of an orange prescription pill that matched the orange pills located in his mother’s container.

The son admitted he got the pill from his mother and ingested part of the pill already. The mother was asked and she admitted in giving her son part of a pill.

The mother and son were arrested and transported to the Scott County Jail pending charges.

Subjects were later released pending formal charges.
