PARKERSBURG -- Three people were arrested in connection with a drug bust in Vienna on Wednesday.

According to a criminal complaint filed with the Wood County Magistrate Court, the Parkersburg Narcotics Task force conducted a search of a residence at 800 15th Ave. in Vienna.

Stephanie L. Wright, 36, Richard Brewster Mollohan, 33, and Mickey Allen Hairston Jr., 34, of the Vienna address, were arrested after a large amount of fentanyl was found along with methamphetamine and other items related to drug sales, the complaint said.

Task force agents located 24 grams of fentanyl, foil containing 3.6 grams of methamphetamine, digital scales and a large amount of cash in the bedroom of the residence, the complaint said.

The items were found in Hairston's jacket that was inside the room where he was staying, the complaint said.

Hairston is being charged with possession of fentanyl with the intent to deliver and possession of methamphetamine with the intent to deliver and was being held at North Central Regional Jail on a $300,000 surety bond.

Because Mollohan is the main resident of the house, he is being charged with maintaining a dwelling for the use of controlled substances by others and was released on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond, the complaint said.

Wright is being charged with drug conspiracy because her jacket and cell phone were in the same room as the drugs, according to the complaint, and she was being held at North Central Regional Jail on a $100,000 surety bond.
