Jasonville man, woman arrested on meth-related charges

Two Jasonville residents were arrested on warrants Monday afternoon for allegedly purchasing pseudoephedrine that was used in a methamphetamine manufacturing operation.

Shea P. Boram, 23, was booked into the Greene County Jail around 3:30 p.m.

Sean M. Terrell, 28, was booked in around 4:45 p.m.

Both were released on $500 bond and are scheduled to appear in court for initial hearings on Feb. 22.

Their preliminary charge is the illegal purchase of more than three grams of pseudoephedrine within a seven-day period, a class C misdemeanor.

The warrants were issued as a result of an ongoing investigation into a methamphetamine lab operation recently found at Fred R. and Heather L. Ritcheson's rural Shelburn residence.

The Ritchesons were arrested Feb. 4 on several felony charges involving meth after an investigation by the Greene County Drug Task Force in cooperation with the Sullivan County Sheriff's Department, Indiana State Police, and Farmersburg authorities.

The Ritchesons allegedly sold methamphetamine to several people in Greene County and Drug Task Force officers have been following trails back and forth between the two counties.

Members of the Task Force, including Det. Josh Goodman and other officers from the Linton Police Department and Officer Ryan Van Horn and other officers from the Jasonville Police Department assisted in the investigation and arrest of Boram and Terrell.

Det. Goodman's report states, "During the investigation leading up to the meth lab operation found at the Richeson's residence, officers believed that numerous subjects were purchasing large amounts of pseudoephedrine and providing it to the Ritchesons. Officers found the two subjects (Boram and Terrell) had purchased more than the legal amount."
