UPDATE: Update: Charges against John Tracy Fisher have been dismissed. A 2017 charge of trafficking methamphetamine was dismissed on Feb. 26, 2019 after Fisher underwent drug and alcohol education classes, took part in community service and submitted to year-long random drug screening with no indication of narcotics use. A 2016 charge of first-degree receiving stolen property was taken to a Tuscaloosa County grand jury and the grand jury issued a “no bill” which means the panel did not find probablE cause to infer that a crime had been committed.

ORIGINAL STORY: Tuscaloosa defense attorney John Fisher Jr. was arrested Friday and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, police say.

Tuscaloosa police say Fisher, 48, and Christopher Shane Rushing, 42, of Northport, were found in possession of two active "one-pot" meth labs on Friday.

Agents with the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force seized 369 grams of meth oil during the investigation, according to police.

The investigation began when agents were informed that a suspect dropped off a backpack containing items believed to be components of a methamphetamine lab to an unreleased location.

Agents observed a second man arrive at the location and then exit carrying the backpack.

This second man was followed by police to an office located in the 1600 block of Greensboro Avenue in Tuscaloosa, police said.

Fisher's law office is located at 1609 Greensboro Avenue, according to the law office website.

There officers continued to conduct surveillance and saw the first suspect arrive at the office and later walk out carrying the same backpack.

Both suspects, Fisher and Rushing, were then taken into custody by officers.

During a search of one of the suspect's vehicles, agents found an active "one-pot" meth lab.

Fisher was released from jail after posting $250,000 bond. Rushing remains in jail on $250,000 bond.
