FAIRFIELD – The prosecution has filed a petition to deny pretrial release for a 47-year-old man charged Tuesday in Wayne County Court with multiple drug and weapons charges.

Reggie Shemwell was charged Tuesday with two Class X felonies for delivery of between 400 and 900 grams of methamphetamine, two Class 2 felonies for using a vehicle or structure for the production of meth, four Class 3 felonies for being a felon in possession of a weapon and one for criminal fortification of a residence, as well as Class 4 felony possession of a controlled substance.

Shemwell’s arrest came after the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at a home in Sims in connection to an investigation by the sheriff’s office.

Deputies report the defendant was seen outside the home but fled inside when he saw law enforcement.

Once he was detained, a search of the home reportedly revealed 1.2 pounds of methamphetamine was located along with four firearms, cash, prescription pills, and digital scales.

At the time of his arrest last week, Shemwell was free on $10,000 cash bond posted earlier this year in a Wayne County separate case charging him with felony meth delivery, felony meth possession, and two counts of felony driving while license revoked.

Shemwell remains in the Wayne County Jail awaiting a pretrial detention hearing today.
