CULLMAN – The Cullman Police Department’s Crime Suppression Unit (CSU) has made multiple drug and forgery arrests recently.
Arrested in Hanceville were James Tyler Hinman, 37, and Asia Ryan Graham, 28, both of Hanceville. The pair was charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, first-degree unlawful possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
The pair was arrested after CSU members executed a search warrant at the couple’s residence and allegedly recovered approximately 4 ounces of methamphetamine, approximately 389 grams of marijuana, 20 alprazolam pills, tramadol pills, carisoprodol pills, heroin, marijuana wax, drug paraphernalia and a handgun.
Hinman and Graham were transported to the Cullman County Detention Center and have since been released.
In a separate case, the CSU arrested Justin Dwayne Turner, 36, and Christina Louise Karrer, 34, both of Hanceville, charging them with reckless endangerment and unlawful distribution of a controlled substance for allegedly selling methamphetamine.
