Ind. Courts - Second Evansville attorney accused of possession, dealing meth [Updated]

Gavin Lesnick of the Evansville Courier & Press reports today:

An Evansville lawyer was arrested Friday evening for allegedly dealing methamphetamine, the second time in just over a month that a local attorney has been jailed on drug charges.

Teresa Perry, 33, was arrested at 4:30 p.m. at her law office, 999 N. Congress Ave., after she allegedly sold drugs and delivered methamphetamine to a police informant.

Brad Happe, who police say is a "friend and associate" of Perry, was arrested March 29 after authorities said they uncovered a meth lab in his Evansville law office and apartment.

Sgt. Kurt Althoff of the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Department said police were aware then Perry was involved but that the case against her was strengthened after Happe's arrest. Althoff said a confidential informant also told police he had seen Perry and Happe using meth together.

The most recent ILB entry on Brad Happe was April 6th.

[Updated 5/7/07] Today's C& P contain another story, this one reporting:

Police on Saturday went to Perry's rental home in the 3300 block of Waggoner Avenue and found various drug-related materials, including what appeared to be a meth lab, according to a probable cause affidavit.
