Adam Matthew Ball of Seymour faces three preliminary Level 5 felony charges of dealing methamphetamine following an investigation. He also faces a preliminary Level 6 felony charge of possession of methamphetamine.
The controlled purchases, which amounted to less than a gram each, were overseen by officers Adam Surface and Mike Henley.
