In Ohio A search warrant yielded evidence of a major Meth lab and a 24-year-old man’s arrest.  The suspect is charged with a third-degree felony in connection with the lab. According to the sheriff’s office, the suspect cooked Meth in a two-story house, and then put the waste into a nearby trailer in garbage bags. Three other people in the house at the time of the raid may also face charges.

In Montana  A passer-by found an open duffel bag on a front lawn surrounded by several syringes and called police.  Officers suspected it was a mobile Meth lab. When the drug unit showed up to investigate, a nearby resident told police that a man was hiding behind the corner of a house watching them.  Officers found papers in the bag with someone’s address.  When they investigated the address, they found Meth manufacturing supplies.  The suspect, a 28-year-old man, had disabled the apartment's ventilation system, preventing air from circulating in the structure.
An 11-month-old baby was crawling around the house, exposed to the lab and its ingredients.  The 28-year-old man faces Meth charges and felony criminal endangerment charges.  Social workers took custody of the infant.
