In California - Seven adults were arrested after a two-month investigation into Meth trafficking.  Officers seized 3.5 pounds of Meth, four vehicles and more than $23,000 in cash.  Two children were placed in protective custody

In New Mexico - Police arrested a 45-year-old man accused of trafficking Meth, more than two months after narcotics agents allegedly first discovered a large quantity of it in his home.  He was picked up on an arrest warrant that resulted from a police search of his home on March 7, when undercover agents turned up a large quantity of Meth and items for distribution.  The suspect faces a second-degree felony charge for trafficking Meth and a misdemeanor charge for possession of paraphernalia.

In Tennessee – Investigators are trying to find out how dumped dozens of bags holding Meth contaminated garbage near a downtown courthouse.  The hazardous waste was found in a container used to hold scraps from a remodeling project.  Officers are looking to see if the dumper also left an evidence trail. 

In California - Topping the DEA’s most wanted list is a 47-year-old woman who was involved in a complex conspiracy to manufacture Meth. Agents consider her the drug 'queenpin' behind five operational Meth houses, saying she was  responsible for getting the necessary chemicals and supplying them to Meth producers.  The DEA began building the case against her back in 1998.  The agency has already arrested fourteen others in her cartel, including her husband.  He was convicted and sentenced to eight years in prison.

In Missouri – After months of investigation, police arrested four suspects in a raid on a Meth lab.  The two men, 36- and 35-years-old, and two women, 51- and 30-years-old, all apparently lived in the home.  They face a range of charges, including Meth possession, distribution and possessing materials to manufacture.
