In
California A 33-year-old man was killed in a
head-on collision, and the driver of the other vehicle was found with 2
pounds of Meth. The victim was killed when the other driver, a 26-year-old
man, veered into his lane and hit him head-on. The 26-year-old sustained
major injuries in the crash. Officers found two bags of Meth in his car
during their investigation. He is expected to be in the hospital for at
least a week, during which he will be under around-the-clock security.
When he is released, he will be charged with felony DUI, felony
manslaughter, and felony drug possession and sales.
In
Iowa A 35-year-old man faces several charges after officers
found an alleged Meth lab in his apartment. He was arrested after a
neighbor called in a report of a suspicious smell coming from an apartment
within a house. Officers found ether and other chemicals for Meth
manufacturing in the apartment, so they evacuated the people living in the
other apartments in the house. The suspect will be charged with counts of
Meth possession and felony charges of possessing the materials to make
Meth. He already faces a charge of violating parole; he was on parole
after serving a prison sentence for conspiracy to manufacture Meth in
2000. He also served time in 1997 for Meth possession with the intent to
deliver.
In
West Virginia
Officers arrested two men, 52- and 34-years old, on charges of attempting
to manufacture Meth. Police say the men were buying thousands of nasal
pills, and have linked them with a major Meth lab.
In
Oregon A 46-year-old man was arrested when narcotics
officers allegedly found packaged Meth in his mobile home. Officers also
found scales and packaging materials in the home. A 45-year-old woman who
was in the home was arrested on suspicion of Meth possession.
In
Ohio Deputies executing a search warrant turned up a sizable amount of
chemicals and other paraphernalia in a home. A 22-year-old man was
arrested and charged with manufacturing drugs and illegal assembly or
possession of the chemicals to manufacture drugs. A 41-year-old man who
also lived in the home was arrested and charged with felonious assault on
a police officer. He drove his car at the sheriff and deputies at a high
rate of speed and in a reckless manner. One deputy was nearly run over.
