Suspect Charged Second Time for Making Meth at Same Apartment Complex

CULLODEN, W.Va. --- A recurring meth problem at one apartment complex in Cabell County has some tenants feeling a disturbing case of déjà vu.

Cabell sheriff’s deputies made another meth bust at the Culloden Manor Apartments.

Less than two weeks ago, two other suspects were charged with making meth there.

That followed a meth bust from last spring.

One of the four suspects arrested was 25-year-old Thaddeous Reams, who was also arrested at the complex back in May.

"Obviously the first arrest has not been an education at all for this gentleman," Sheriff Tom McComas said.

Reams’ charges from the meth bust last year were dismissed ten days after his arrest, but the sheriff says it's an ongoing investigation, and now he may face charges in both cases.

23-year-old Brittany Legg, 52-year-old Karen Murphy, and 44-year-old Carla Curd were also arrested in the bust.

Murphy's address is listed as the apartment where the meth lab was found. Curd lived in the apartment across from Murphy's.

Reams is from Milton.

Those apartments are a part of HUD.
