Steven Meadows, 44, Melody Graham, 32, and the home’s owner, Charles Lunsford have also been formally charged with felony drug-trafficking charges Prosecutor Mathias Heck said in a statement released Thursday.
It was Meadows, Graham and McIntyre who showed up at the house in a van at about 12:30 p.m. looking to sell prescription drugs authorities believe McIntyre recently stole from a pharmacy in Clinton County.
Childers refused to buy the pills and that’s when McIntyre started shooting, Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer said. Childers was shot three times, twice in the chest and once in the head, Plummer said.
McIntyre and Graham were arrested hours after the shooting after pulling into a Super 8 motel on Dryden Road. Meadows was arrested while driving the van in Riverside.
Graham also faces five counts of aggravated drug possession and three counts of drug possession.
Lunsford, who has prior drug-related convictions, knows Meadows and help set up the deal, authorities said.
Meadows, Graham and McIntyre are still in jail. Lunsford has yet to booked in as of 5 p.m., according to jail records.
TweetMan allegedly steals car twice, offers it for crack
DAYTON — Police arrested a man Wednesday, Nov. 19, for allegedly stealing an acquaintance’s car twice and then offering to sell it for crack.
Officers arrived in the 300 block of Hickory Street at 8:10 p.m., and the complainant told them a man he knew had stolen his 2002 Honda Civic, according to a police report. The complainant said the man had stolen it another time recently, and police did not recover a key when they found the car.
Officers then went searching the known address for Randy Lee Riley (pictured above), 42, the man the complainant said stole the car. They soon spotted the Civic traveling with four occupants and stopped the car.
After handcuffing the four passengers and recovering a crack pipe from inside Riley’s pants, officers interviewed Riley. He said he had been at the complainant’s home a few days ago, and the complainant fed him.
“The devil had ahold of me,” Riley told police, according to the report, “and I saw the key in the car door, and I just got in it and took it.”
Riley told officers he still had the key and again stole the car Wednesday. He also told them he had just met the other passengers recently and offered to give them the car for $50 worth of crack. Police recovered crack from under the driver’s seat in the Civic, although Riley claimed it was not his because he hadn’t yet been paid, the report said.
Riley was arrested on charges of theft and possession of drugs.
