Graves County Sheriff Dewayne Redmon said his office received a call of possible illegal drug activity taking place outside a home in the 700 block of Wright Street. When a detective with the drug unit arrived, he reportedly found five young adults and a 16-year-old juvenile sitting under the carport of the home. Police said a strong odor of marijuana was present.
During interviews, deputies determined that the juvenile was highly intoxicated. Police said 20-year-old James Creason of Dublin admitted bringing marijuana to the home and selling some of it and smoking with the others.
Nineteen-year-old Jonathon Sierra of Mayfield reportedly had marijuana in his pants pocket and also admitted to smoking it. Two others, 22-year-old Whitney Vermast and 20-year-old Tyler Hall, both of Mayfield, admitted to smoking marijuana prior to the arrival of police.
The four adults were arrested and lodged in the Graves County Jail. Creason is charged with unlawful transaction with a minor, trafficking in marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and public intoxication. Sierra, Hall and Vermast were each charged with public intoxication. Sierra was also charged with possession of marijuana.
Police said the other adult was sober and stayed at the home to care for her child and Vermast’s child.
