Six people were arrested on possession charges following the execution of a search warrant
at a home on 4th Street in Nederland. This address has been a continued nuisance to the
community. As Jefferson County narcotic officers entered the home, one of the defendants
attempted to flush methamphetamine down the toilet. 47-year old Shawn Manning, 23-year
old Dillon Champagne, 33-year old Cullen Cannon of Port Neches, 23-year old Taylor
Crochet, 36-year Melissa Byrom Mallet, and 32-year old Kayla Viator were all arrested
on possession charges. Champagne was also charged with tampering with evidence.
