According to a criminal complaint, the Marion County Sheriff’s Department received a call reporting a possible drug deal between a truck and a Jeep at the Goodwill in White Hall on Oct. 25. Deputies were dispatched to investigate the situation.
According to authorities, James Potter, aged 44, and Amanda Potter, aged 40, both residents of Parkersburg, were found occupying the truck.
