Search warrant yields one arrest on methamphetamine charges

Last Monday, officers from the Coffee County Drug Unit served a search warrant in Mora and arrested Michael Dees, 53, on charges of possessing methamphetamine.

A bench warrant was issued for Dees' arrest earlier this month after he failed to appear in court on a charge of willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer. In that case, according to a copy of the arrest warrant, he is accused of putting his hands inside an officer's vest and hitting him. 

The drug unit executed a search at Dees' residence on Mora Road last Monday while serving the warrant, which resulted in investigators discovering a quantity of suspected methamphetamine, along with other drug-related objects.

Dees is currently being held in the Coffee County Jail without bond.
