Three arrests for undercover drug deals

Drug buys by undercover agents led to three arrests Friday, said Inv. Kent Munsey of the Bulloch County Drug Suppression Team. Investigators are searching for a fourth man allegedly involved in a methamphetamine operation east of Statesboro.
Casey Marie Kicklighter, 27, Burkhalter Road, was charged with two counts of methamphetamine sale, one count of methamphetamine possession, one count of methamphetamine manufacturing offense and probation violation, he said.
Investigators are looking for 29-year-old James Edward Parrish, also of Burkhalter Road, on the same charge, he said.
After making several undercover buys of methamphetamine from Kicklighter and Parrish during a month-long investigation, officers obtained search warrants for the residence at Lake Pines Apartments and found “the remains of a meth lab,” Munsey said. They also discovered an assortment of ingredients and items used to make methamphetamine, he said.
Kicklighter was arrested at the scene, but Parrish is still at large, he said. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the Bulloch County Sheriff's Department at 764-8888.
As part of another undercover buying operation, drug agents arrested two other area residents in separate operations, Munsey said.
Mark William Lank, 41, West Waters Road, was charged with possession of a counterfeit substance after selling a substance he claimed was methamphetamine, Munsey said. The substance was sent to a lab for testing but was not meth, he said.
In a separate transaction, James Wesley Edenfield, 39, Hawthorne Road, was charged with sale of a Schedule II drug, Percocet.
Munsey said Edenfield was arrested after a single sale of Percocet to an undercover agent.
