Two men arrested on drug charges in meth investigation

An investigation into a separate case ended up resulting in the arrest of two men on drug-related charges, officials said.
Jonathan Michael Camp, 25, 20615 Hwy. 129, Haleyville, was arrested for second-degree manufacture of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and five counts of second-degree attempt to manufacture a controlled substance.
Bret Lee Gosa, 24, 9138 Franklin 81, Phil Campbell, was arrested for second-degree manufacture of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to Franklin County Sheriff Shannon Oliver, investigators with the Franklin County Drug Unit had received information that there appeared to be heavy drug activity at a residence on May Drive in Phil Campbell.
Oliver said when investigators went to the residence to follow-up on the drug-trafficking allegations, they discovered Camp and Gosa in a back bedroom along with many drug-related items, including a large bag of methamphetamine, several smaller baggies containing methamphetamine and meth residue, several pseudoephedrine pills and other drug paraphernalia.
Gosa has been released from custody on bond but Camp remains in custody at the Franklin County Jail.
