Decatur mother, three children jailed on drug charges
|
A six-month investigation by the Decatur Police Department’s Organized Crime Unit into the sale of illegal drugs has led to charges against a mother and three children.
The four Decatur family members were arrested Wednesday and each charged with two counts of unlawful distribution of a controlled substance, Investigator Jamie Hammons said.
They are Betty Taylor Cunningham, 50, of 2916 Wimberly Drive S.W., Apt. B, and her children, George Edward Cunningham, 28, of the same address, Joshua Lamar Taylor, 32, of 1601 Beech Street and Tashua Lashun Fuqua, 29, of 224 11th Ave. S.W.
An officer said they remained in Decatur City Jail this morning. They will be transferred to Morgan County Jail, each held in lieu of bail totaling $10,000.
Hammons said during the past six months, a cooperating witness under the supervision of the Organized Crime Unit bought prescription pills and marijuana multiple times from each member of the family within a three-mile radius of Decatur City Schools and public housing.
Hammons said most of the sales occurred in different locations throughout the city.

What a sweet looking family. Glad they found something that they can all do together. You know, as a family. I wonder if Mom has those cute little stick figure stickers on her back window? Did they get adjoining jail cells?
Probably on public assistance living off of the tax payers and dealing drugs on the side. The mother has raised her children to be thugs like her. Will probably get off with a slap on the wrist to go sale more drugs to our kids.
I guess they got a family discount on bail...Only 10,000. should have been at least 100,000. If the were a successful operation they would have had than much in their pocket or purse.
ANY and ALL public assistance should be taken away from them immediately.
I agree with Willard and Tony on this one.
They are such a loving family!!! Can't yall tell?????
@ Gena....they can't sell drugs to MY kids, cause MY kids does not do drugs! And why do you think they are on public assistance? They can call a bondsman and be out for $150 / person. If you didn't have people wanting the drugs, these kinds of people couldn't make any money. So that's kinda a doubled edged sword. If people want to abuse their bodies by doing drugs, have at it! They will pay for it in the long run. Legal alcohol is just as bad for people as illegal use of RX or illegal drugs.
Indonesia has made possessing illegal drugs a capital offense. Works for me!
All the previous comments pretty much sum up the obvious answers.
Anyone (especially ugly or angry people) changed with a crime are guilty.
We can also safely assume that all ugly/angry people changed with a crime are also on public assistance.
Maybe their real crime was not having glamor shots for the media.
the indonesian law is stupid and ignorant as someone who advocate it.....
Is there no Father? Perhaps that is the root of the problem.
Are you kidding me, a Father! She probably doesn't even know "who be the the baby daddy"
@JAMES - yes, all children have a father. Maybe if they had controlled themselves, or accepted responsibility for spreading their seed, things would be different for everyone involved.
Maybe if the judge would set their bonds at a few hundred thousand or more each and they had to actually sit their asses in jail a while they might think twice about their preferred choice for a means of income. They were all probably out and selling again by the end of the day.
A family that Drugs Together, Thugs Together.
