Both suspects were transported to the Cullman County Jail and charged with trafficking methamphetamine, first-degree possession of marijuana, and more charges are pending.
Further investigation resulted in the arrest of former Limestone Correctional Officer Becca Marsh. ADOC agents confiscated approximately 1.2 pounds of methamphetamine at her residence.
