Three Carson Valley residents with prior drug trafficking histories were arrested Friday in connection with the local distribution of methamphetamine.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office Street Enforcement Team made the arrests at a residence in the 3500 block of Cherokee Drive in Jacks Valley, home of two of the suspects, Maude Marie Cox, 50, and her husband, Kevin Leo Cox, 47.
Also arrested was Melissa Sue Miller, 38, who lives on South Court in Gardnerville.
The Coxes were charged with trafficking in methamphetamine and conspiracy to violate the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. Bail was set at $25,000 for Maude Cox and $10,000 for her husband.
Miller's bail was set at $250,000. She was charged with possession of methamphetamine and, in a separate investigation, credit card fraud and burglary.
"The sheriff's office had been experiencing a lull in methamphetamine activity over the past several months; however, methamphetamine seems to be making a comeback locally," said Sheriff Ron Pierini.
The suspects are expected to appear in East Fork Justice Court today.
