ANOTHER BUST LATER THAT DAY…

Earlier on Saturday, another young Louisa resident, who has been arrested nearly a dozen times in the past 4 years was arrested, separately, also with meth.

Mason Masters, 22 of Louisa, was arrested just around 1 P.M., by patrolman officer Julius Musick (who was also part of the raid led by Chief Greg Fugitt later Saturday night).

• POSSESSION CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE 1ST DEGREE, 1ST OFFENSE (METHAMPHETAMINE),

It is unclear as of now, if the arrest of Mason Masters was in any way connected to the drug bust later on in the day in Louisa.
