In Florida - A 60-year-old woman was arrested for the second time in less than a month on Meth charges.  The suspect was first arrested for having a large amount of Meth, other drugs and a weapon in her home and posted bail.  She was rearrested for possession and manufacturing Meth from the same home after officers executed a search warrant.  They discovered a gas generator used to produce a mixture of hydrogen chloride gas, salt and sulfuric acid in one shed and in a second, they found other materials and equipment to produce anhydrous ammonia, along with four bags of crushed pseudoephedrine pills.  Once inside the home, officers found a .22-caliber automatic pistol, Meth, pills, drugs, cash, and lithium batteries. In all, authorities seized about 9.5 pounds of Meth mixtures and finished product.  The woman allegedly admitted the items all belonged to her and that she used them to make Meth.  She claimed she never used Meth, but sold it.  She is now being held without bail.
