Sheriff Graves said that 49-year-old Gerald Brett Rushing, Sr., of Walker was charged with two counts of operation/creation of a methamphetamine lab, cultivation of marijuana, improper lane usage, and no driver's license on person; 45-year-old Cynthia Rushing and 33-year-old Mitchell L. Broxson, both of Walker, were charged with operation/creation of a methamphetamine lab and possession of 12 grams or more of Ephedrine; and 46-year-old Gregory T. Jones of Rosedale was charged with operation/creation of a methamphetamine lab, possession of marijuana, and possession of 12 grams or more of Ephedrine.
