In Ohio - A one-vehicle car crash led to the discovery of a potential Meth lab when chemicals and other items spilled out of the car upon impact.  The driver crashed into a tree, and Meth manufacturing chemicals flew out the car’s window, the trunk popped open, revealing pills and instruments to manufacture Meth.  Officers then searched the vehicle and discovered a loaded gun.  The driver of the car was taken to a hospital for treatment; the passenger was taken to jail.  Police plan to charge the pair with illegal possession of chemicals to manufacture drugs, drug abuse and improper handling of a handgun in a motor vehicle.

In Indiana - An officer out on patrol smelled ether and anhydrous ammonia.  He tracked the odors to a private property and got a search warrant.  Officers pinpointed the source of the smell to the garage of the home.  Inside the garage, police discovered a working Meth lab and 15-grams of finished Meth.  The homeowner, a 41-year-old man, and a 47-year-old man were found in the garage and arrested.  The homeowner faces multiple felony counts including manufacturing and dealing Meth; possession of anhydrous ammonia while in possession of a firearm; possession of Meth while in possession of a firearm and more.  The other suspect faces a felony charge of possession of Meth over 3 grams.
