Fournier said that on Wednesday November 30, 2016 at approximately 7:30 p.m., the Kent County Governors Task Force (GTF), along with Probation and Parole Officers assigned to the unit, responded to the unit block of Hedgerow Hollow Road, Hedgerow Hollow development, in order to attempt to make contact with Reese D.

Upon arrival, both Heesh and Lambdin were located inside the residence and taken into custody without incident, said Fournier. An administrative search was approved and upon conducting a search of the property, detectives allegedly located equipment and component mixtures of the manufacturing stages of Meth along with key ingredients in making the drug, as well as an active “one-pot” bottle.
