DeFuniak Springs Police recently received several tips that methamphetamine was being cooked and sold out of a local residence. Detectives conducted an investigation that led them to 882 W Orange Avenue. Responding around noon on March 22nd with Probation and Parole, Detectives and Officers made contact with the residents and probationer, Timothy Herring.
