Mentor Detectives Arrest Trio On Drug-Related Charges

Mentor Police arrested a trio of people on Friday who now face drug-related charges.

Peter Meade, 19, of Painesville, is accused of trafficking Ecstasy twice in the city of Mentor -- first on Feb. 27, then again on Friday, Mentor Police Lt. Tom Powers said.

He faces two counts of Ecstasy trafficking, one count of drug possession and a final count of possession of criminal tools. In this case, the "criminal tools" refer to a cell phone and a USB jump drive that police confiscated when he was arrested.

On Friday, Meade was also joined by Taylor Adams, 20, of Mentor-on-the-Lake, and Jacqulyn Beavers, 19, of Willowick, Powers said.

Adams is accused of selling marijuana, as well as possessing of criminal tools and prescription drugs.

Beavers faces charges of permitting drug abuse and possession of drug paraphernalia -- specifically, a straw and a razor blade, according to court documents.

All three were arraigned Monday morning in Mentor Municipal Court. Their next court hearing is scheduled for March 7.
