SEMMES, Alabama -- Three men were arrested Wednesday in a methamphetamine investigation at a trailer in Semmes, and Mobile County sheriff's deputies said one of the men answered a knock at the door holding a meth pipe, authorities said.

Spokeswoman Lori Myles identified the men as brothers Christopher Shawn McDuffie, 35; and Raymond Dwayne McDuffie, 52; as well as James Allen Terry, 51. All 3 were charged with 1st-degree manufacture of a controlled substance and trafficking methamphetamine, Myles said.

Additionally, Christopher McDuffie was charged with possession and receiving a controlled substance after answering the deputies' knock with the pipe in his hand.

All 3 were in Mobile County Metro Jail this evening without bail.

Myles said that the trailer on Ellen Drive in Semmes had been the object of numerous neighbors' complaints in recent weeks. She said that 3 guns were found in the home, and deputies found a meth lab inside as well. Myles added that a 3rd McDuffie brother who lives at the trailer was not present and is being sought for questioning.
