Four men were arrested in Taylorville on Thursday morning following a warrant on suspected drug activity at an unlicensed sober living home.  The Taylorville Police Department investigated the property located in the 900 block of East Oak Street.  This sober living home was intended to provide a safe environment for individuals in recovery from addiction. 

After a narcotic search warrant was filed four individuals were arrested:  51-year-old James Crepin, the owner of the facility, was charged with possession of meth and unlawful use of property. 38-year-old Joseph Besson was charged with possession of meth, possession of meth with intent to deliver, and delivery of methamphetamine, 29-year-old Sean Neville was charged with possession of meth and possession of meth with intent to deliver, and 27-year-old Patrick Carr was charged with delivery of meth (x3) and possession with intent to deliver.

TPD Chief Dwayne Wheeler says he’s very frustrated with these arrests as the intent of the facility was to support community members striving for sobriety. The Taylorville Police Department wish to thank the many citizens of Taylorville who reported on the issues going on at the house and the Christian County State’s Attorney for filing the charges.  TPD also thanked the Stonington Police Department and the Christian County Sheriff’s Office.
