Madisonville Police Chief Gregg Breeden said Robert
“Speedy” Stevens and his brother Roger were arrested at a
home on Meadowview Lane after they
spent the past
month selling crack cocaine and cocaine to undercover
informants.
“They had both moved just outside of town,” Breeden said,
“but they were
selling their drugs in Madisonville and also
in Sweetwater.”
Breeden said there wasn’t a lot
of drugs recovered Monday
but there had been quite a bit passed back and forth over
the past
month. There were also several weapons and two
vehicles seized.
“This will probably put a
dent in the crack and cocaine
trade in Sweetwater and Madisonville for a little while,”
Breeden said. “We’re glad to take them off the street.”
A third person, Sterling Davis, was
also arrested after he
pulled up while the raid was happening.
“We’re not really sure
what he wanted, because when he
saw us, he took off,” Breeden said. “We went after him. It
wasn’t really a high speed chase. We followed him to his
mother’s house next to Houston Park
where he stopped
and surrendered and we found marijuana on him.”
Monroe County Sheriff’s Drug
Officer Conway Mason
taped several informants buying the drugs from the
Stevens brothers,
leading to the search warrant for the
house.
“Except for Davis driving off, it was a
pretty low key
arrest,” Breeden said. “None of them gave us any trouble.”
Robert Stevens, 36,
is charged with four counts of the sale
and delivery of a Schedule II narcotic. Roger Stevens,
35,
is charged with two counts of the sale and delivery of a
Schedule II narcotic and
Sterling Davis, 33, Old Cemetery
Road, Madisonville, is charged with possession of
marijuana
and evading arrest.
