Meth lab bust nets four in Perry County

Four Perryville residents were being held on large cash-only bonds following a raid on a meth lab, Perry County Sheriff Gary Schaaf reported Friday.

The arrests followed a months-long investigation that culminated with a raid last Saturday on West North Street in Perryville, Schaaf said. "We finally got enough information to justify a search warrant."

Sheriff's deputies, officers from the SEMO Drug Task Force and the Perryvill Police Department took part in the raid.

Officers arrested Brian K. Oakley, 36, Jennifer R. Oakley, 30, Steven W. King, 35, and Teresa L. Koenig, 51, who all gave their address as the home where the raid took place. Brian Oakley faces four felony counts and two misdemeanor charges and is being held on a $20,000 cash-only bond.

King faces five felony charges and a misdemeanor and is being held on a $50,000 cash-only bond. Jennifer Oakley and Koenig face identical charges of a single felony and a single misdemeanor count each, with a $10,000 cash only bond.
