Deputies: 2 caught possessing drugs in Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) - Two people, including a suspected dealer, were caught with drugs in Springfield Friday, deputies said.

The Sangamon County DIRT Team and Investigations Division executed a search warrant Friday at the residence of James H. Dyer, 46. They said this was after 6 a.m. at 1400 Mathew St. in Springfield.

According to authorities, more than one controlled buy of methamphetamine from Dyer had been completed.

Deputies said Dyer had $3,440 in cash, a stun gun (not a civilian model), 5 grams of meth, 1 gram of heroin and multiple unidentified prescription pills.

Deputies reported also finding 31-year-old Lindsey A. Huston, who is from the 100 block of Exeter Court in Springfield, in the same residence. They said she possessed 1.1 grams of heroin, 2 grams of meth and several unidentified pills.

Both suspects are in Sangamon County custody Friday afternoon. Dyer is charged with delivery of meth, possession of meth and possession of a weapon by a felon. Huston faces a possession of meth charge.

Authorities said the Sangamon County DIRT Team had served a search warrant at two locations, including the Mathew Street address, on Feb. 27, 2020. Dyer faced narcotics charges after that arrest and was out on bond when arrested Friday.
