WILLIAMSBURG —
A Williamsburg man jailed after Whitley County Sheriff Colan Harrell said he caught him with evidence in hand appeared in Whitley County District Court Monday.
Casey Lee Moses, 42, faces one charge of his first offense of manufacturing methamphetamine.
Moses appeared with his attorney, Public Defender Ron Findell.
Findell said that Moses wanted to waive Monday’s preliminary hearing and bound his case over to the grand jury. Findell also motioned for a reduction in bond, which Judge Cathy Prewitt granted.
Moses was jailed under a $50,000 cash bond — in court Monday that was changed to a $50,000 surety bond. Moses thanked the judge for the decision.
Prewitt said Moses will be required to pass drug screens prior to his next appearance in court.
Harrell explained that on March 5, he and Sgt. Tim Baker went to the Ben Jones Loop residence after receiving information from an informant that a resident of that home was manufacturing methamphetamines.
That resident was Moses, according to Harrell.
“When we got to the residence, you could smell meth,” Harrell said. “We went around to the back of the house, and the window was open.”
The odor of meth was unmistakeable, according to Harrell.
“You could smell meth there too — it was bad,” he said.
Harrell and Baker entered the residence.
“We were going to the steps to the second floor where (the suspect’s) bedroom was,” Harrell said. “I was about four or five steps from the top — and there was Casey, standing, holding a plastic bag.”
Harrell said Moses admitted to what was in the bag, telling him “Well, I got some meth.”
Harrell said Moses had a one-step meth lab, as well as finished meth.
Deputies also located an HCL generator, which is hydrochloric acid, required in chemical reactions where moisture cannot be tolerated.
Moses was remanded back to jail after his Monday court appearance, but had bonded out by Tuesday night.

Disturbing trend of hyperbole in media, politics
