Multiple Lawrence County residents were indicted for drug crimes by a grand jury this week, including a father and son from South Point accused of selling pills, as well as a couple from Willow Wood arrested in the county’s largest meth operation.

Larry K. Layman, 63, of 71 Township Road 1034, was indicted on nine separate drug charges, which included a second-degree count of trafficking in oxycodone, a fourth-degree count of trafficking in oxycodone, a second-degree count of trafficking in morphine, a fourth-degree count of trafficking in cocaine, a fourth-degree count of trafficking in Alprazolam, second- and third-degree counts of possession of drugs and a fifth-degree count of possession of cocaine.

He was also charged with a first-degree count of trafficking in drugs which included specifications that he was in possession of more than $41,000, a 2006 Dodge truck and a 2013 Kia used during the commission of the crime, and a .22 caliber handgun.

The man’s son, Steven T. Layman, 31, of 97 Township Road 1034, was charged with one second and two fourth-degree counts of trafficking in drugs.

The men were arrested March 19 following an investigation by the Lawrence and Drug and Major Crimes Task Force.

Jason E. Reed, 34, and Sherry White, 34, both of 3996 County Road 64, Willow Wood, were indicted on charges of second-degree illegal manufacture of drugs.
