Three people were arrested Tuesday after the Lawrence County Drug Task Force served a search warrant at a home in the 2600 block of Tunnelton Road. According to Bedford Police Chief Dennis Parsley, officers from both the Bedford Police Department and Lawrence County Sheriff's Department SWAT Team executed the warrant.
"Working on information received about illegal drug activity at the home officer secured a search warrant," Parsley says. "When officers arrived there were three people in the home and all three were arrested after officers found various amounts of meth, heroin, firearms, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a large amount of cash. They also found ginseng and a squirrel."
Officers arrested 51-year-old Sheila Aslinger Phillipe and 53-year-old Bradley Bundy, both of Bedford, on charges of dealing heroin over 5 grams with a firearm; dealing heroin; possession of heroin over 5 grams with a firearm; possession of meth with a firearm; possession of meth; possession of marijuana; possession of drug paraphernalia; possession of ginseng out of season and possession of a wild animal without a permit.
27-year-old Nathan Fields of Bedford is facing charges of possession of heroin over 5 grams with a firearm; possession of heroin over 5 grams; possession of meth with a firearm; possession of meth; possession of marijuana; possession of drug paraphernalia and visiting a common nuisance.
The Department of Natural Resource was called to the scene after police found the ginseng and the squirrel, which was running around the house and eating out of a cat food bag.
DNR added the charges of possession of ginseng out of season and possession of a wild animal without a license. DNR Officers confiscated the ginseng and the squirrel.
(Not the squirrel)
I wonder if the police officer raised the squirrel to his mouth and said, “100% pure.”
Did the moose escape?
Good luck was not Moose and Squirrel!
I don't understand how they can accuse the man of "possession of a wild animal without a permit" if the animal was not caged or otherwise constrained. This charge will not stand. Plenty of rodents chew they way into houses. They are not always noticed; in other cases they are hard to evict.
"Don't touch that squirrel's nuts! It'll make him crazy!"

That aquirrel was so high, it didn’t even realize it was eating cat food and ginseng.
As our local rednecks would say....they arrested three woodchucks and a squirrel.
At least the cops didn’t shoot the squirrel.
possession of ginseng out of season?
SAY WOT??
This story must drive the dope-smoking crackheads at PETA crazy.
A squirrel habit is very hard to kick. Clean and sober now for 3 years.

So the squirrel had some meth?
That is pretty insane. You can buy ginseng products in jars all year long.
