An anonymous tip led Bulloch County drug agents to the arrest of three Brooklet residents Wednesday for selling morphine.

Willette Billie Zetterower, 69; her daughter Lisa Marie Kendrick, 51; and Kendrick’s boyfriend, Walter Darryl Horton, 48, all of Cross Creek Farm Road in Brooklet, were each charged Wednesday with sale of a Schedule II controlled substance, morphine, according to Bulloch County Jail records.

Bullloch County Drug Suppression Team Capt. Rick Rountree said an anonymous tip led drug agents to set up surveillance at Lowe’s parking lot on Northside Drive East, where the tipster said the transaction would take place.

Zetterower, Horton and Kendrick were caught on video meeting a man in a white car, making an exchange of some sort, Rountree said. When deputies stopped the suspect, he had morphine in his possession he said he bought from the three, according to Rountree.

Rountree said he could not discuss whether the man who purchased the morphine was arrested at the scene, how much morphine was sold or the price, stating the matter is still under investigation.

After their arrest, Kendrick, Zetterower and Horton were taken to the Bulloch County Jail, where Zetterower was later released on bond. Horton and Kendrick are being held without bond, according to jail records.
