In South Dakota -  Two people are charged with running a Meth lab in a home near two schools.  The homeowner, a 37-year-old man, is a realtor.  Police found and arrested him at his father’s home.  He is charged with Meth manufacture, possession and distribution charges and for keeping the drugs at his in a school zone, which could add an additional 20-years to his sentence if he is found guilty of the charges.  A 40-year-old woman, who did not live in the home, is charged with possessing both Meth and klonopin, a potent drug prescribed for epilepsy and anxiety disorders.  An utility employee called police after smelling chemicals in the home’s basement.  One police officer described the lab as one of the bigger ones found. A lawyer from the States Attorneys office said that the fumes coming from the home were so bad it actually made some officers sick on the scene.  From Argus Leader  From KELO-TV

In Oklahoma – A storage facility’s manager helped police bust a Meth lab.  The manager was suspicious of two people who went in and out of the business more than 140-times since the beginning of the month.  When he noticed an obnoxious smell, he checked surveillance equipment and saw the same two people.  He called police, and officers arrested the two men for cooking Meth in a storage unit.  They face multiple charges including possession of a firearm and manufacturing of a controlled drug.  

In Oregon – Officers who had been investigating a 37-year old man gathered enough information to get a search warrant for the suspect’s vehicle and residence.  The search turned up about an ounce of Meth, scales, packaging materials, cutting agents and drug sale records.  The suspect was arrested and charged with Meth possession, distribution, and manufacture.
