Trio Hit With Felony Meth Charges in Cuyahoga Falls
On Dec. 14, Cuyahoga Falls police arrested and booked three suspects on possession and manufacture of methamphetamine.
Crissten Cottrell, Erin Collins and Brittany Snow were plucked from their car and arrested on Dec. 14 after a tipster spotted them at Discount Drug Mart buying ingredients commonly used for the manufacture of methamphetamine.
As they left the store, the eyewitness called Cuyahoga Falls police to relay the tip. Within minutes, officers pulled the suspected meth users over in the 600 block of Portage Trail, said Falls police Lt. Dale Gramley.
When police learned Cottrell had an outstanding warrant, they searched his car and found methamphetamine, and the newly purchased chemicals used to cook the drug.
Cottrell, 37, was charged with possession of methamphetamine and illegal assembly of chemicals for methamphetamine -- both second-degree felonies, according to the Stow Clerk of Court's Office.
Collins, 27, and Snow, 24, were charged with illegal assembly.
The trio appeared together in Stow Municipal Court on Thursday for their preliminary hearing.
Since each is facing one or more felony charges, their cases will be bound over to the Summit County Court of Common Pleas where they will be arraigned and prosecuted.
As it stands, the three suspects are in custody at Summit County Jail.

Idiots! What part of meth not being good for you do they not understand??? Meth is harmful from the very first time one tries it, it will at some point in time create the onset of symptoms of Parkinson's, read up on it!! I cannot believe people even try and dabble with something not only dangerous to make, but is highly addictive and mentally destructive!! Anyone using or making meth should get locked away and the key get hidden. They become a worthless part of society. They become the problem, not the solution!! This stuff is bad people, there is nothing good about it!! It is hard to have any empathy for people to do something as stupid as this! Absolutely ridiculous!!

If there is any doubt in your mind how bad meth is for you,look at Brittany.
That's the oldest looking, most beat up looking 24 year old girl I've ever seen.

Awesome job by whoever called it in. By the way " Riverrat " is the best screen name on here, I love it! Meth is a nationwide problem and not getting any easier to deal with. ehhhh, I just hope this city can grow and we can minimize some of the section 8 here and keep getting good residents to buy. I bought a house here 3 years ago and like this city.
