Tracy Michelle Branham, 30, of the same address, is charged with conspiracy to distribute or possess a meth precursor and felony conspiracy. William Ray Tyler Jr., 21, is charged with failure to appear in court and second-degree trespassing.
Police went to the home after coming across a mobile meth lab, located inside a vehicle, outside the Regency Inn at 521 Ramsey St. Further investigation led authorities to the Saddle Ridge Road residence, where three elementary school aged children live, police said.
The children are in the custody of their grandparents, police said.
All three suspects remained in the Cumberland County jail Wednesday night – David Branham under a $100,000 bond, Tracy Branham under a $250,000 bond and Tyler under a $1,000 bond.
