Drug arrests made in loft above shop building

A complaint about unauthorized people on the premises led Oconee sheriff’s officers last week to the arrests of two persons on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine and giving false information to a law enforcement officer. Law enforcement records identify those arrested as Rachel Nicole Edmiston of Little Choestoea Road, Westminster and Nicholas Allen Palmer of Land O Lakes, Florida. The Sheriff’s Office first categorized their response last Friday morning to 630 Little Choestoea Road as a domestic dispute in a loft above a shop building on the property.
