CHESAPEAKE — Three people arrested last week for allegedly operating a methamphetamine lab were arraigned Friday in Lawrence County Municipal Court.

Donald J. Workman, 306 Little Solida Road, South Point, was arraigned on one count of manufacturing illegal drugs and on a bench warrant issued Wednesday because he failed to show up for a pretrial hearing on unrelated charges in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court.

Judge Donald Capper set bond at $50,000 and appointed attorney David Reid Dillon to represent him.

Jan E. Bess, 276 County Road 124, Chesapeake, was arraigned on one count of complicity to manufacturing a controlled substance.

Capper set bond at $50,000 and appointed attorney Mike Davenport to represent her.

Jennifer D. Hinchman, 1129 Waco Road, Huntington, W.Va., was arraigned on one count of complicity to manufacturing a controlled substance.

Capper set her bond at $50,000 and appointed attorney Mike Gleichauf to represent her.

All three people must return to county court Aug. 10 for preliminary hearings.

Workman, Hinchman and Bess were arrested Wednesday evening at Bess’ residence. Gary Sowards, of Sowards Bonding, was looking for Workman because the man had failed to show for the common pleas pretrial conference earlier that day. Sowards had been informed Workman might be found at Bess’ house. Bess is Workman’s aunt.

Lawrence County Sheriff Jeff Lawless said when the three were arrested, a “shake and bake” meth lab and ingredients to make the drug were found at the residence. All three remain in the Lawrence County Jail.
