Credit Card Fraud In Nottoway Causes Revocation In Lunenburg For Meth Man

Colton Todd Lumpkin, a 32-year-old Blackstone man, was sentenced in Nottoway Circuit Court on July 28, 2014 to one year and three months, which resulted in a revocation of nine months in Lunenburg Circuit Court on his 2010 conviction for Attempting to Manufacture Methamphetamine in Lunenburg County for which he served two years.

Lumpkin still has an additional 12 years and three months suspended in Lunenburg subject to conditions of good behavior, and supervised probation upon his release for one year. He was also convicted of an associated charge of Possession of Substances With Intent to Manufacture Methamphetamine for the same incident.

Lumpkin’s offense occurred in April, 2009 at which time he delivered supplies to a location in Lunenburg County for storage with the intent to later “cook” the ingredients to make methamphetamine, a controlled substance that is considered a highly addictive and injurious drug.  Surveillance was conducted by the Tri-County Narcotics Task Force under the supervision of Special Officer Donald R. Penland, Jr. of the Lunenburg County Sheriff’s Office.

Lumpkin was later stopped in his car by Penland and State Officer Jason Lacks, and the items were seized from the residence in Lunenburg.  Lumpkin confessed that he had purchased the items with the intent to make methamphetamine.  He said he did not use “meth,” but was going to cook a batch to sell because he wanted to make some extra money to pay child support for four children.

Lumpkin had past convictions in Tennessee when he was 21 years old for robbery and burglary.
