Nine Arrested in Lincoln County Meth Bust; Child Found in Home

LINCOLN COUNTY, W.Va. -- Nine people are now behind bars after a large-scale meth bust at a Lincoln County home Friday night.

Martin Williamson, Erica Earnell, David Madden, Bobby Hill, Ashley Dean, Melissa Fulks, Sheena Frye, Steffanie Atkins and Travis Atkins were arrested.

All are accused of making meth inside a home on Scites Ridge Road.

State Police say a two-year-old child was also found in the home and has since been placed in the care of Child Protective Services.

Police say several of the suspects ran out of the home and into the surrounding woods when troopers arrived.

The homeowner, Martin Williamson, had been arrested on similar charges in January in a raid by the Sheriff's Department.
