NEWARK – A fourth person has been arrested and more charges have been filed in the investigation of a methamphetamine trafficking ring reportedly run from inside the Licking County Justice Center.

Joshua L. Webster, 36, of Newark, was arrested Thursday on a charge of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a first-degree felony.

According to court records, Webster, 26-year-old Tylor Lemay and 35-year-old James Parker, both of Newark, allegedly helped purchase and distribute methamphetamine throughout Licking County at the direction of 32-year-old Jennifer Burns-Harman.

While incarcerated at the Licking County Justice Center, Burns-Harman reportedly made phone calls, video calls and had in-person visits from multiple individuals and arranged for them to obtain methamphetamine from a supplier she had in Reynoldsburg.

Proceeds from those sales were then placed on Burns-Harman’s jail account to allow her to continue making phone calls and running the ring, according to court records.

Webster was released from prison earlier this year and has prior convictions for failure to notify a change of address, corruption of a minor, having weapons under disability, failure to comply, possession of drugs and resisting arrest.

During a court appearance Friday morning, Magistrate Mattie Klein ordered Webster held in jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond.

The other three suspects were indicted Thursday by a grand jury and now face additional charges.

Burns-Harman, of Mount Vernon, was charged with one count each of aggravated trafficking in drugs, a first-degree felony; aggravated funding of drug trafficking, a first-degree felony; and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a third-degree felony.

According to the indictment, Burns-Harman is suspected of helping to organize and finance the drug ring between Nov. 1 and Dec. 7.

The indictment also includes a forfeiture specification for $1,511. If convicted, she faces up to 33 years in prison.

Burns-Harman remains in jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond.

Tylor Lemay, 26, of Newark, was charged with one count each of aggravated trafficking in drugs, a first-degree felony; and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a first-degree felony.

According to the indictment, Lemay is suspected of participating in the ring and helping to distribute methamphetamine between Nov. 1 and Dec. 7.

The indictment also includes a forfeiture specification for $504. If convicted, he faces up to 22 years in prison.

Lemay remains in jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond.

James R. Parker, 35, of Newark, was charged with one count each of aggravated trafficking in drugs, a first-degree felony; engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a first-degree felony; tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony; failure to comply, a third-degree felony; having weapons under disability, a third-degree felony; and carrying concealed weapons, a fourth-degree felony.

According to the indictment, Parker is suspected of participating in the ring and helping to distribute methamphetamine between Nov. 1 and Dec. 7. He is also suspected of fleeing from police and tampering with records related to the investigation on Dec. 5, as well as a possessing a firearm after a prior felony conviction.

The indictment also includes a forfeiture specification for $199 and a handgun. If convicted, he faces up to 32 1/2 years in prison.
