Alleged meth maker arraigned a second time
The West Virginia man arrested Monday by state police after the ingredients for methamphetamine were found in his vehicle in the lot of a Canton Township convenience store was arraigned again on Tuesday after it was learned that he lied to police about his identity.
Thomas R. Shipley, 42, of Clarksburg, W.Va., told state police that he was James Edward Alexander Jr., 42, when he and Katrina Louise Stalnaker, 32, of Buckhannon, W.Va., were taken into custody in the lot of Circle K, 860 Henderson Ave. (Route 18).
The two were arraigned before District Judge David Mark on charges of possession of red phosphorous and other items with intent to manufacture a controlled substance, possession with intent to manufacture and deliver a controlled substance and possession of paraphernalia. Both were placed in Washington Jail on $75,000 bond.
State police were notified Tuesday by a jail employee that Shipley provided a false name at the time of his arrest. He was arraigned Tuesday before Mark on the initial charges as well as a charge of false identification to police. His bond was increased to $100,000. Both have preliminary hearings scheduled for Wednesday before Mark.
