Meth charges lodged A Newport couple now faces charges following the Monday execution of a search warrant at their home on Morris Street. Sheriff Armando Fontes said he and Drug Agents David Robertson and Danny Hartsell went to the home of James Brad McGaha, 31, and Amanda Lee Hill, 31, and they were assisted by the Newport Police Department SWAT team. The search warrant was issued after McGaha allegedly sold methamphetamine on more than one occasion from his residence to narcotics agents within the last six months. Agents seized a loaded 38 revolver, a shotgun, methamphetamine, Valium drug paraphernalia, ammunition, marijuana and $764 in cash.
