Loree Lee Little, 42, 270 Oakland Road, Lot 7, Union, is charged by the sheriff’s office with possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine and possession of marijuana.
The two were arrested after Pendergrass allegedly sold crack cocaine to a person who turned out to be an undercover operative with the county narcotics unit. The incident report states the sale was made in a parking lot within a half mile of Union Christian Day School. After the sale, Pendergrass left the parking lot and traveled down Meansville Road before being stopped by deputies near the Toney Road.
When he was placed under arrest, deputies discovered Pendergrass’ drivers license was supspended. They also found a quantity of marijuana in his pants pocket along with the recorded currency the operative used to make the drug buy plus another $300.
Based on this, investigators obtained a warrant to search Pendergrass’ home where he lived with Little, described in the report as his girlfriend. A search of the premises turned up a Smith & Wesson .357 revolver and holster; a quantity of white, rock-like substance believed to be crack cocaine; digital and mechanical scales; four bottles of pills; loose pills; and several partially smoked marijuana cigarettes.
Little was arrested following the search. Both she and Pendergrass remained in the Union County Jail as of Friday morning.
Scrap Metal Theft
Heavy metal got a new meaning Wednesday when deputies arrested three people for allegedly attempting to steal $100 worth of scrap metal.
Jonathan Doyle Sinex, 29, 4441 Mt. Pleasant Church Road, Chester; William Troy Horne, 30, 183 Horne Drive, Union; and Heather Lee Johnson, 23, 115 Wedgewood Court, Union, are each charged by the sheriff’s office with petit larceny and trespassing.
Deputies were dispatched to 740 Bentley Town Road shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday in response to a report of someone loading metal onto a truck. The incident report states deputies found two trucks and three people behind the building. The three told the deputies they had permission to be there. Their story did not hold up once deputies contacted the person who reported their presence at the building. The three were placed under arrest and transported to jail.
Johnson was also charged with possession of a prescription drug which the report states did not belong to her.
Horne was arrested again Wednesday night when was he pulled over by a deputy at the intersection of Lockhart Highway and Black Bottom Road. The report states the deputy knew Horne’s license had been suspended. He was placed under arrest for driving under suspension and transported to jail.
Wednesday was not the first time deputies had arrested Sinex in regard to stolen metal. Earlier this month, Sinex was arrested and charged with grand larceny in connection with the January theft of aluminum letters from the side of a building on the Oakridge Road. He was later charged with unlawful transportation of nonferrous metals for the alleged illegal sale of $4,000 worth of copper wire.
