In Tennessee – A 34-year-old man faces charges of manufacturing Meth and marijuana after a raid on his home.  When officers executed a search warrant, they discovered a number of items used in Meth manufacturing, along with some finished product Meth.  Deputies also found 19 marijuana plants growing in different locations on the property.

In California - Police officers arrested a 33-year-old man on suspicion of Meth possession and resisting arrest.  Police began talking to the suspect in a parking lot, but during the police interview, he allegedly took a small bag of Meth from his pocket and then attempted to run from police.

In Iowa - Three men are charged with manufacturing Meth, and are facing a class B felony with a prison term up to 25 years. The 49-, 31- and 23-year-old were arrested at an apartment complex after a tenant called police.  One of the suspects allegedly showed the tipster’s husband a rock of Meth. 

In Indiana - A 40-year-old woman was sentenced to home detention for allowing Meth to be made where children were present.  An employee from the state Division of Family Resources called police after she found a Meth lab during a home visit. An officer then found ingredients and tools for Meth manufacturing in a detached garage.  The woman and her husband rented the property, but he was in jail at the time of the discovery.  His wife lived there with her two children and a grandchild.  Authorities claim she bought supplies and knew Meth was being made, but did not make it herself.  A teen and an infant were reportedly present while the Meth was being made on the property.  She pleaded guilty to maintaining a common nuisance and neglect of a dependent and was sentenced to two years in prison on each count, to run concurrently.  The judge suspended the sentence in favor of two years on electronically monitored home detention.
