Officers arrested 11 people today who were indicted by a Marion County Grand Jury in connection with a Methamphetamine case, Marion County Sheriff Bo Burnett said.

After an investigation by the Marion County Sheriff's Office and other agencies, the suspects were charged in a conspiracy to manufacture more than 300 grams of meth and to get a precursor chemical used to make meth called pseudoephedrine, Burnett said.

The 11 arrested were Larry Eggert, Crystal Moore, Cassandra Henry, Lisa Walters, Carrie Griffith and Lamont Dodson from Whitwell, Tenn., Jeania Cox from Tracy City, Tenn., Joshua Roberts, Chris Dodson and Michael Fulfer from Sequatchie, Tenn. and David Walters from New Hope, Tenn., Burnett said.

They will appear before a Marion County Circut judge on Dec. 20, Burnett said.
