Two New Hanover residents face multiple drug charges. Law enforcement officials from the local police, the Bureau of Narcotics and Drug Control and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office arrested Lisa Renee Simmons, 54, and Anthony James Furniss, 32, both of the same address on Layfield Road, following an undercover methamphetamine purchase on Sunday.

            Simmons and Furniss each face two felony counts of illegal possession with intent to deliver as well as criminal use of a communication facility, multiple conspiracy charges and  possession of drug paraphernalia, according to information posted on a state judicial website. Both were arrested following a purchase by a confidential informant inside a motorhome parked at a property on Layfield Road, according to the police criminal complaint filed in the New Hanover court of District Judge Maurice Saylor.

            Law enforcement officials arrived at the property after the informant arranged to purchase meth from Simmons. The informant entered the motorhome, purchased seven grams for $200 and turned over the package to a narcotics agent from the attorney general's office, according to the legal document.

            The informant, who was instructed to wait for the supplier, returned to the motorhome and purchased an additional seven grams for $300. Law enforcement officials observed a male leave the residence and enter the motorhome. The informant confirmed that he was the person who brought the meth, according to the court paperwork.

            The male, identified as Furniss, was taken into custody. Law enforcement officials discovered $500 in marked bills and a bag containing suspected methamphetamine. He admitted to bringing the drugs from his home to the RV, according to the document.

            A search of the motorhome turned up a small amount of meth in the stove. Simmons showed authorities the text message she used to contact Furniss to bring more of the drug, according to court records.

            Furniss consented to a search of his residence and garage and agents confiscated firearms, a bump stock and a silencer. At the New Hanover police department, Furniss signed a waiver of his rights and gave a complete statement as to his involvement in the sale of methamphetamine, according to legal documents.

           During a preliminary arraignment Monday, District Judge Marc A. Alfarano set bail for both defendants at $25,000 monetary. Simmons and Furniss were both remanded to Montgomery County prison. A preliminary hearing for both is scheduled for 10 a.m. on March 2 before District Judge Maurice Saylor, according to the judicial website.
