On August 13th the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department arrested Jody Tribble of Walnut Ridge for possession of pseudo ephedrine with the intent to manufacture meth and over possession of pseudo ephedrine according to Captain Jody Dotson of the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office.

Tribble, who is on parole was contacted by his parole officer and a home visit was conducted as well as drug tested by the parole officer and failed for meth.
