Glen Richey Couple Accused of Dealing Crystal Meth
GLEN RICHEY – A Glen Richey couple is facing felony and misdemeanor drug charges for allegedly dealing crystal methamphetamine.
Creagan Lee Powell, 35, and Jennifer L. Cupp, 29, were arrested by Lawrence Township police June 29 following a warrant service at a White Church Road residence.
Both are charged with two felony counts each of manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver, conspiracy and criminal use of communication facility.
Powell and Cupp are also charged with two misdemeanor counts each of intentional possession of a controlled substance and use/possession of drug paraphernalia.
Their arrests resulted from a joint investigation with the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office, according to the affidavit of probable cause.
On March 4, 2019, police say an informant arranged the purchase of a half-ounce of crystal meth from Cupp for $700 via Facebook Messenger.
He/she was then followed by officers to Cupp’s residence where the transaction was completed. After, he/she turned over a bag of suspected crystal meth and several small empty bags from Cupp.
He/she said Cupp obtained the crystal meth from a scale, and that Powell also arrived while he/she was inside. He/she said Powell had contact with both them and Cupp.
The informant said he/she saw packaging materials and Xanax inside the couple’s residence, and that Cupp also commented that she’d obtain more crystal meth in the future.
On April 26, 2019, the informant – in the presence of officers – attempted to contact Cupp via Facebook Messenger but was unsuccessful.
He/she, however, was able to get a hold of Powell to arrange the purchase of $350 worth of crystal meth. Cupp later contacted him/her regarding the same transaction.
The informant was followed by officers to the couple’s residence and after the transaction was completed, he/she turned over one bag of suspected crystal meth.
He/she said they paid $350 to Powell and Cupp gave him/her the drug. During the transaction, he/she said the couple discussed obtaining and selling more crystal meth.
The drug from each controlled purchase was field-tested and showed positive for methamphetamine. It was then sent to Pennsylvania State Police Crime Laboratory for further analysis.
Lab reports confirmed the drug purchased March 4 and April 26 of 2019 from Cupp and Powell was crystal meth, according to the affidavit.
Police say that Powell and Cupp were taken into custody without incident June 29 and arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Mike Morris.
Both are currently housed in the Clearfield County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail, and scheduled to appear for preliminary hearings at 8:30 a.m. July 8.
