Meth, paraphernalia possession results in multiple arrests in Butler

On April 4, the Bates County Sheriff's Office served a narcotics search warrant at 410 N. Fulton in Butler. 3 people were arrested at the residence. Methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and narcotic distribution equipment were located and seized from the home.

George Lewis, who is also a registered sex offender that is currently out on bond, was charged with delivery of a controlled substance and was held on a $100,000.00 cash or surety bond. Lewis has since bonded out of jail.

Two females in the residence were also arrested, but were later released.

"This is another example of the men and women of the Sheriff's Office continuing to put in the work to take these career criminals off of the streets. Mr. Lewis has a long history of breaking the law and was already out on bond in connection with a sex crimes case, but has proven that he holds no regard for the law and will continue to be a menace to the community. We will continue to go after career criminals and put them in jail for the crimes they commit" Says Sheriff Anderson
