Thirteen people from seven Central Texas towns have been arrested on drug charges, in the latest Operation Ice Storm Phase II carried out by the Hamilton County Sheriff's office.

The sting was carried out over the past week in an effort to cut back on the use and dealing of meth.

"This was solid police work by our men and women at HCSO,” Hamilton County Sheriff Justin Caraway said. “However these operations would not have been possible without the great working relationships with Erath County Sheriff Matt Coates and Hico Police Chief Ronnie Ashmore."

Jacob Ryan Howell, 32, and Teresa Belle Singleton, 36, were arrested on June 26th in Hico. Howell was charged with manufacturing and delivery of a controlled substance, methamphetamines. Singleton was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

On July 2, Shannon Lynn Willborn 32, led Hamilton County Sheriff deputies on a brief car chase. She was arrested in Hamilton and was discovered to be in possession of methamphetamines. She was charged with evading arrest and possession of a controlled substance.

On the same day, HCSO Narcotics Division issued 10 felony manufacture/delivery of controlled substance warrants, all in connection with Operation Ice Storm Phase 2.

The goal of the second wave of defendants was due to a targeted area in the northern portions of Hamilton County and the outlying areas of Erath and Bosque counties according to Hamilton County Sheriff Caraway.

Those arrested and charged with the manufacture and dealing of methamphetamines include:

Kara Michelle Trawee, 23, of Stephenville

Johnny Michael Buckaloo, 40, of Morgan

Everett Brooke Williams, 43. of Stephenville

Thomas Edward Cody, 50, of Stephenville

Alonzo Dee freeman, 55, of Morgan

Kenneth Ray Jackson Jr., 45, of Dublin

Robin Telford Williams, 51, of Dublin

Michael Tyler Davidson, 23, of Stephenville

Danielle Nicole Cannon, 28, of Stephenville

Brian Ray Phillips, 36 of Carlton

Caraway told KWTX, "The goal was to eradicate those who wished to sell methamphetamine in our communities."

The suspects face 20-99 years in prison if convicted.
