On Friday, law enforcement officials from the Lauderdale County Drug Task Force apprehended sixty-eight-year-old Teresa Merle Canerday at her residence in Lexington. This action followed a thorough search of her home, which was conducted under the authority of a search warrant. The warrant was issued after investigators gathered credible information suggesting that drug sales were taking place at the location.
As a result of the search, Canerday now faces multiple charges, including possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. The investigation highlights ongoing efforts by local authorities to combat drug-related activities in the community.
