Myrell Simpson Jr., 34, 2911 Highway 80, was indicted six times for delivery of a controlled substance as a result of task force operations that stretched from December to March. Also receiving multiple drug indictments was Eric Howard Lansperry, 52, of 811 Lorilla, who was indicted four times for delivery of a controlled substance, District Attorney Hardy L. Wilkerson said.

“Drug cases have dominated the last several grand juries,” Wilkerson said. “Our task force has been very active.”

Of the 27 indictments handed down Thursday, 22 were for drug charges.

“Most of these cases were the result of undercover work by the Big Spring Police Department,” Wilkerson said. “This was high-quality work by the task force and we look forward to prosecuting these cases.”
