Clearing a Utica location of meth

Oconee deputies say they cleared a car at Utica of nearly 47 grams of methamphetamine on Tuesday when they went to Padgett Street to check out word that a drug offender suspect might be there.  The result:  the arrests of a man and a woman.  The sheriff’s office reports trafficking in methamphetamine charges against Steve Allen Broach, 48 years old, of Seneca and Patricia Linda Alexander, 49, of addresses in Anderson County.
