In West Virginia – Two men and one woman were arrested on Meth manufacturing charges.  Officers say the three admitted to buying large quantities of pseudoephedrine from a number of pharmacies.  Police reportedly found disassembled Meth labs at the two homes.

In Indiana – Concerned neighbors are credited for helping bust a Meth lab.  Police received reports of a strong chemical smell around the home and people coming and going at odd hours.  When police executed a search warrant at the house, they were not expecting to find the lab where they did – they say the suspect was keeping most of his Meth manufacturing materials inside his 11-year-old daughter's bedroom. The suspect was arrested but released on bond.  His children are staying with relatives.

In Kentucky - A woman was taken to a hospital for treatment after being burned by chemicals in a home Meth lab.  She told police that a man who was staying with her had the hazardous materials in her home, and that she came in contact with them when they spilled.
