Four Arrested In Drug Raid
Four area residents have been arrested in connection with another methamphetamine lab. This is the ninth meth lab that “Operation New Beginning” has netted since June 2009.
The Roosevelt County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Fort Peck Tribes Department of Law and Justice and Valley County Sheriff’s Office, executed a search warrant at the Wade Traeholt residence, located approximately 35 miles north of Wolf Point in northern Roosevelt County.
Arrested during the search warrant was 39-year-old Wade Traeholt, who was charged with operation of unlawful clandestine methamphetamine laboratory and criminal possession of precursors to manufacture methamphetamine.
Also arrested in connection with the drug bust were Brad Hohman, 28, and Heather Smith/Charette, 36. They were each charged with criminal possession of precursors to manufacture methamphetamine.
Jonisa Charette, 19-year-old daughter of Smith/Charette, was also charged in Fort Peck Tribal Court with criminal endangerment. An eight-month-old child was placed in protective custody by Department of Family Services.
This case has been part of “Operation New Beginning,” an intense narcotics investigation that was initiated by the Roosevelt County Sheriff’s Office in May. In addition, 38 suspects were arrested in November for selling prescription pills.
Roosevelt County Sheriff Freedom Crawford stated, “Apparently, these meth lab suspects did not take me seriously when I publicly stated that narcotics trafficking will not be tolerated in Roosevelt County and the Fort Peck Indian Reservation.” Crawford continued, “They’ll obviously have some time to think about that now.”
The sheriff was appreciative of the Valley County Sheriff’s Office and the Glasgow Police Department for their assistance during this incident.
