Four arrests were made at the scene. Ronald Eugene Kelley, James Lamar Kelley, Clifford Reed and Martha Reed, all of Cedartown, were charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, trafficking methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute, possession of tools for the commission of a crime and possession of drug related objects.
