In Michigan - A 43-year-old woman arrested for possessing a portable Meth lab pleaded guilty to the charges on the day her trial was set to start. She will be sentenced April 10. She was arrested in October after a police officer noticed she was driving erratically.  When police ran the license plate, they discovered she was wanted on a felony warrant for dangerous drugs, and a search of her car turned up components for making Meth.

In Nevada - A counterfeit check and identification ring was broken and a 24-year-old woman arrested.  Deputies searched her home and found 20 grams of Meth and a computer.  The search of another house yielded deputies a plethora of equipment used for generating fake identification cards and counterfeiting checks, including numerous computers, printers, scanners, and I.D. printing equipment.  Evidence from the second location linked the woman to the counterfeiting scam.  Deputies also discovered paperwork with the names of several other people involved in the complex operation.  Officers are looking for at least six more people believed to be involved.
 
In Michigan - Law enforcement officers and firefighters cleaned up a medium size home Meth lab after deputies arrested a 48-year-old man on a felony warrant.  He was originally wanted for possession of Meth and ecstasy, and for failing to appear for an arraignment for narcotics possession charges in a different county. Officers discovered the red P lab inside the detached garage of the house.  

In Alabama – Deputies arrested three men, 28-, 25- and 24-years old, on charges of manufacturing what is believed to be Meth.

In Mississippi – Officers raided a Meth manufacturing operation and arrested seven people.  Police who were investigating some tips discovered what they described as “A pretty good sized Meth lab with quite a bit of finished product.” The suspects were in the process of cooking another batch when the officers moved in.

In Texas - Officers are questioning a 22-year-old man about the stabbing of another man. They also want to talk him about having bombs and a Meth lab in his home. Investigators found the lab, with about 1,200 grams of Meth oil, and several explosive devices in the house.  A police bomb squad later blew up a pipe bomb that was found on the property.  The stabbing victim is in stable condition.
