Two people have now been charged in a Bokchito drug bust that happened in May. Edward Grig Jordan and Karona Gayle Thomas are both being charged with making methamphetamines.

Jordan is also being charged with the unlawful use of a police radio. The bust occurred when the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office received a call advising them that Jordan and two other men were cooking the drugs in and RV on Jordan’s property.

When authorities arrived to question the men, nobody answered the door but police spotted bottles from a chemical used to make the drug.

Sheriff’s Investigator John Haislip obtained a search warrant for the RV and house on the property. Jordan and Thomas had come out of the residence and were being held in a police car at the time of the search.

While searching the premises police found multiple vials of what appeared to be methamphetamine, several cell phones, incriminating text messages, a pipe, a crock pot containing red liquid and supplies for cooking drugs in the bathroom of the trailer house.

All items were seized for evidence.
