ORANGE PARK – Six Clay County residents face charges of manufacturing methamphetamine at three locations, in some instances while having small children present.

Clay County Sheriff’s Office detectives had a search warrant when they went to three sites on Wednesday, March 10, and made the arrests. Detectives arrested Joseph Blake Edmondson, 30, at a rented storage unit in the 300 block of Blanding Boulevard where the discovered a variety of chemicals used to operate a methamphetamine laboratory, syringes and a small amount of the drug in small plastic bag, according to a Sheriff’s Office arrest report.

Edmondson's girlfriend, Loni-Ann Drew Paterson, 27, was arrested at his Orange Park home in the 600 block of Charles Carroll Street where detectives also found an active clandestine meth lab, the report says. Paterson’s 5-month-old child, who was with her in the home, was taken into state custody by the Florida Department of Children and Families.

Arrests also were made at a home in the 2800 block of Tanglewood Boulevard where another meth lab was found, the report says. Charged with manufacturing methamphetamine-related offenses were Deanna Skinner Miles, 31, and Edwin James Browning, 32, both of Middleburg, and Fawn Marie Gold, 32, of Orange Park, arrest reports say.

Investigators also charged Tracy Marie Rivera, 39, who lived at the Tanglewood Boulevard home. The report says Rivera had her two minor children at home when the methamphetamine “cook”, which posed a serious danger of fire or explosion, was occurring.

When you start out lying you make things worse. You are the company you keep. If your mother is not a drug addict whyis she friends with one or all? She didnt put you or your sister in a safe environment. For the 15 year old, you are not the man of the house so you couldn't stop nothing. Criminal acts are criminal acts. Stop finding excuses and instead do something to better your life. Jesus is standing by for all of you.

sorry children, but if cops came to your house and found chemicals to manufacture, whether your mom did drugs or not, she was a part of the game. At least you have a relative to live with, that poor baby will never know his parents now. maybe you should see this as the ultimate sign that DRUGS ARE BAD. So you may want to not do them either. Yes dears weed is an illegal substance as well. Good Luck to your family

My feeling is everyone needs to just calm down if you are not part of this investigation.That is part of the problem that we are facing in America these days, peolple are quick to make accusations and foregone conclusions before anyone really knows what's going on.So everyone just sit back and let the police do what they are paid for. That way when, or if, anything is proven then make your remarks.

Look at all the girls faces, they all have marks on them (besides Rivera) Anyone around probally knew something was wrong and just didn't want to get involved. I feel so sorry for these children, I hope they can find help or if they are not allowed to get their clothing and personal property someone puts a post where we can help them out.

Unfortunately I know Fawn ...help was offered before it got to bad, and DCF was called on Fawn more than once by various people trying to get her youngest in a safe situation. Jail seems to be the thing this "fawntastic" trash needs

It is so sad to see these stories on what seems like a daily basis in Clay County. I feel bad for the children involved, especially Savanah and Evodio because they are obviously old enough to know what was going on in the home. I would love to belief them that nothing ever happened in the home and that their mother is innocent but unfortunately common sense takes over. For police to have had a search warrant on the house they had to have sufficient evidence backing it up before a judge would have signed it. It may be true that Fawn was involved with other labs that were raided but it is also apparant from public records that this woman was living in your home and not just staying there a couple of times since she lists that address as hers. It is also very apparant from the booking photos that three of the women have meth sores on their faces, not to mention the sunken in eyes which would probably be more obvious on Fawn if she wasn't wearing makeup. It seems strange that a child that claims he would've smelled the meth cooking (how many children can identify the smell of meth cooking) couldn't recognize the obvious meth sores. And on one last note about the children not being allowed to go back into the home (lab) to gather their belongings, it is not because the police are trying to seize your belongings for auction it is because your home is now contaminated with toxic chemicals that are produced during the cooking process. Unfortunately what most of these low level 'cooks' don't take into consideration is the fact that these toxins produced during the process affect everthing and everyone in the home even if they are not in the room or even the house when it is active. So no you will not be getting your house back because it is not fit to live in, it will not be auctioned off but instead condemned and destroyed.

Man, I have never seen so many arm chair lawyers and CSI techs. I guess I should be pleased you can read and type and not just watch tv when you want to be up in everyone else's business.

Guess what, my mothers charge for manufacting meth was DROPED so common sense is plenty of what i have thank you. Fawn LIED to DCF about staying there, duhhhh! she only has been around for about 2 weeks and this happened. thank you to everyone that believed me, and this will be a fawntastic experience for her and her friends. my mom isnt going to go to prison like them, but I feel bad for angie, i love her with all my heart same for chase, but Fawn needs to clean up now, so do all of them, for their children. God bless everyone

by the way your right, me and my brother dont know what meth smells like, but we would be able to smell something cooking, were 14 and 15 not 4 and 5.
 
Common Sense
March 12th 2010 - 11:43PM
Dumb or dumbmer, thats the question you should be asking yourself. To actually think and say to yourself that no one knew what was going on in that house. Keep telling yourself that line and eventually you too will actually believe it. Your mother is responsible for everything that happens in your house, and I'm sure the courts will say the same thing when it comes time for sentencing. Stop blaming just one person, they are all guilty in one way or another. Unfortunately it is the children who lose here, they lose a parent because they are sent to jail, they end up in a foster home, they feel alone, sad and scared. Take this unfortunate incident and learn from it. Don't be a product of your parents!

Tracey, I hope that from now on you protect your family and home from loser friends like Fawn. I am sorry that she seems to have wrapped you up in this and I hope that you are just the wiser and are completely cleared of any wrongdoing.

I seen the HAZMAT truck pull up at Tracey'y house on Tanglewood and they didn't stay very long. So to me that was saying that there was no HAZMAT there. Also if Tracy was alowing meth to be cooked in her house thaen she would have beed arrested as the property owner that was allowing the meth to be cooked in. That was some of the charges that were file on the renter of the home where other meth lab on Solar Circle in Jan. Savanah, you and your brother need to stop smoking the weeds, see where it can lead. And have your mom stay away from Mr. Wish.

to be honest, all of you who have no clue whats going on need to stfu!! Tracey Rivera is an honest, hard working mother who loved her children and never touched or had any involvement in meth except for lending out a helping handing for those in need. just becuase you have a heart to help someone who is struggling with addiction doesnt make you guilty. i have been in their house and not once was there any meth production, accesorie, chemicals, etc. in that house. i am glad to hear that all charges are dropped and that the police found out the truth.
 
The Truth!
March 15th 2010 - 8:47PM
Just look at the clay county sheriff's web site...they are all still tweeking in jail. I understand it is your mom you are taking up for but come on now...everyone that knows fawn and deanna know to slam the door in their faces if they show up at your door!
 
Mad as Hell
March 16th 2010 - 10:27AM
Blake lived in my neighborhood and for more than 10 months we have been contacting everyone trying to get something done about where they lived. The house was disgusting and vile despite this being a nice family neighborhood. Although the landlord didn't care what was going on--his reply "They pay their rent on time". And while we had NO clue that meth was being made there we always knew something wasn't right. We had an "issue" about the disgusting conditions of that home they rented, the dogs that were neglected and roaming the streets (6 pits, one of which died--bled to death and animal control never did a damn thing). The trash that piled up, the horrible smells, the up at all hours of the night with flood light on. We would threaten and Blake and his psycho nutcase girlfriend would freak saying "We wanna make it right". NO--they just didn't want us to involve the authorities. You know what LET THEM RUIN THEIR OWN LIVES but don't allow them to breed. Keep their kids away from it and leave it OUT of MY neighborhood!!! It sickens me that our entire neighborhood was at risk.The police showed up with firetrucks, Hazmat and bulletproof vests---we never saw it coming. Take that baby AWAY from them---lock them up and throw away the key. As for Rivera, she had to know what her "friends" were doing. She may have been trying to help but to subject your kids to their addiction borders on insane. Thats like giving a sex offender another chance by allowing them to babysit your kids. Its just plain STUPID.

Just like the previous poster said You don't help rehabilitate a SEX OFFENDER or PEDOPHILE by having them babysit your kids, so why the hell would you have drug addicts live under your roof with your children? If there families didn't want them that should have been a red flag warning. Just looking at them you HAD to know they were on drugs! And stop typing in caps, it makes you look like a ranting morn.

No doubt these folks got what they deserve, but what everyone should be more respectful about is the people who were affected and not involved...like the kids. These kids posting are trying to protect their mother and Im sure themselves at this point. I cant imaging what they are all going through with having the state walk in and turn their entire world upside down. But I do know the family of Loni Ann Patterson and I know what they are going through to try and take care of the 5 month old baby that was a victim of drug abuse. All of the innocent bystanders need to be shown respect, including the kids. Turn your judgement for the folks that did wrong into compassion for the children they left behind. We, as a community, should take this opportunity to embrace these kids and show them that life doesnt have to be about drugs, instead of bashing their mom. All kids will protect their parent regardless of what happened, be compassionate to their pain instead of making it worse!
 
Think about it
March 19th 2010 - 10:10PM
Hey KncredOutsider--where the hell was Loni's family when she was cooking this crap up? You can NOT tell me that they never once visited her home. They never saw the evidence. They never wondered where she was getting her money even though neither her or her loser boyfriend had a job! That they never once saw the sores or the other tell tale signs of her drug addicted, pathetic life. That they never once said "I do believe that child is in danger and I am going to DO something!" To me, her family is as GUILTY as Loni Ann Patterson and YES I AM turning judgment on her family as well. The child IS and will always be the victim in this. Loni NEEDS to be STERILIZED so she NEVER harms another child the way she has done this child. Thanks to Loni this child will grow up with all sorts of issues" medical, emotional, learning disability's not to mention have THAT for a mother and knowing no family EVER came to their rescue. Sad.
