MOUNT ZION MEN FLEE POLICE - Arrested On Drug Charges

(07/06/2001)

Two local men were arrested for manufacturing a controlled substance and resisting arrest on July 2. Trooper J. B. Hunt has charged John D. Hickman, Jr. of Grantsville and Jeffery Tallhammer of Mt. Zion with the offenses. The Calhoun County Sheriff's department had been summoned to a domestic problem at the Regina Cole residence at Country Lanes Trailer Park off Route 16 near Calhoun Homes. Deputy Ron Bandy went next door from the Cole residence to obtain information related to the domestic dispute, when occupants Tallhammer and Hickman "got excited and fled the house." Bandy went in pursuit, unaware of any problem, to find Hickman pulling marijuana plants from a patch behind the residence. Tallhammer fled into the woods. After obtaining a search warrant, Deputy Bandy said the officers confiscated 14 marijuana plants. Sheriff Allen Parsons and Deputy Carl Ballengee also responded to the early morning call.
