Two Arrested after Standoff
Jessie Lee Hardeman, 35, of Mansfield was charged with two counts possession of methamphetamine, theft by receiving stolen property, two counts of possession of marijuana less than one ounce, obstruction or hindering law enforcement officers and parole violation last Thursday, May 22 by the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO).
The JCSO also reported the arrest of Kathleen Farrell Matthews, 31, also of Mansfield at the same time and charged her with possession of methamphetamine hindering apprehension or punishment of a criminal, obstruction of an officer and possession of marijuana less than one ounce.
The arrests came after an attempt to serve an arrest warrant at a residence on County Line Road. The suspect, Mr. Hardeman refused to come out of the house and the homeowner, Ms. Matthews, would not allow the deputies to enter.
The JCSO Tactical Squad was called in and failed to get the pair to exit the house with gas, but then entered the house and found Mr. Hardeman in the attic. A search of the residence revealed three long guns, marijuana, methamphetamine and ammunition.
During the period of May 20-27 the JCSO reported the following additional arrests:
