The Bratt residents accused of operating a meth lab out of a Bratt mobile home  have entered not guilty pleas in Escambia County Circuit Court.

Daniel Wayne Sheets, 29, and Mary Elaine Sheets, 28, were arrested May 20 on multiple drug charges after deputies located the meth lab at 3740 Highway 168, near Wiggins Road .

Escambia County Circuit Court Judge Joyce Williams officially ordered bond at $45,000 each after their first court appearance. Mary Sheets was released on bond; Daniel Sheets remains in the Escambia County Jail.

Both will face a jury trial in September.

Daniel Wayne Sheets and Mary Elaine Sheets were each charged with a narcotics violation, the production of methamphetamine, use and possession of drug paraphernalia and the possession of chemicals used to manufacture a controlled substance.

Escambia County Deputy David Preston said authorities received a tip that a truck belonging to Atmore bank robbery suspect Chad Jeter might be at the residence. The sheriff’s departments from  Escambia counties  Florida and Alabama,  the Atmore Police Department and the FBI attempted to located Jeter at the mobile home, but he was not there.

While authorities searched for the bank robber, they discovered a meth lab being operated at the mobile home.

    You know, it’s sad to see young folks get caught up in this vicious circle. I have seen families destroyed because of it. But, you know, the sad part is, no matter what a person does, that person has families who are hurting. I think about the kids whose lives have been turned upside down~ lives that will be affected by this in one way or another for as long as they live. Then there are the parents… at least mothers, because mothers were created to have unconditional love for their children no matter how old they become. And though they may be disappointed in their life-styles or what they have allowed themselves to become involved in, they still love their kids~ a mother’s love is forever. I pray that this might be a wake-up call for these and that with God’s help, they can turn their lives around! Nothing is too big for God!

    It is very sad to me what that area has turned into. I grew up there my whole life and it was wonderful now all it seems t hat isone big drug problem. I hope some how it can be fixed. I would like to spend more time there but I am not exposing my kids to that garbage. I hope and pray that the police, judges and mostly the people that live there can fix it.
