Plymouth Meth Lab: Suspects Plead Not Guilty

PLYMOUTH, MA — A Plymouth father and daughter ran a meth lab out of their Spooner Street home, according to police. Richard Pearson, 41, and his daughter, Kianna, 19, were among seven suspects arrested Wednesday during a police raid at their 55 Spooner St. residence.

Plymouth Police Chief Michael Botieri said the pair ran a "sophisticated" meth lab in a duplex-style home. Officers said they found large quantities of meth and drug equipment — along with smaller amounts of prescription drugs and psychedelic mushrooms.

The Pearsons were among six residents of the home charged with manufacturing meth, drug possession and conspiracy:

• Richard Pearson, 41, of 55 Spooner St.; held on $200,000 bail.
• Kianna Pearson, 19, of 55 Spooner St.; held on $10,000 bail.
• Stephanie Dubis, 39, of Forest Avenue Ct., Plymouth; held on $10,000 bail.
• Casey Hamilton, 38, of Ocala, Florida; held on $25,000 bail.
• David Hill, 20, of Marshfield; held on $10,000 bail.
• Brittany Navarro, 18, of Plymouth; held on $2,500 bail.

The seventh suspect, Peter McDonnell, 18, of Plymouth, was arrested and charged with meth possession. Police said he wasn't part of the manufacturing operation. He was released on personal recognizance.

All suspects pleaded not guilty during their arraignments at Plymouth District Court.

Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz said police investigated the ring for a month and made undercover purchases before securing arrest warrants.
