In Ohio - A rock of crystal Meth was found among the belongings of a nursing home resident.  The sheriff says the Meth did not belong to the woman in the home, and believes someone with no connection with the nursing home put it there.  Officers in the county where the woman came from will pick up the investigation.

In Minnesota – A 24-year-old man was arrested after a traffic stop turned into a Meth bust.  Officers first pulled him over after recognizing him as a known drug dealer with an active misdemeanor warrant out.  Police saw the suspect allegedly hiding something under the car seats and asked for a canine unit to check the car.  The dog indicated the presence of narcotics inside the car and a search turned up over four-grams of Meth.  That sparked a search of the suspect’s home, where officers found 11.06-grams of Meth in a basement bedroom.  The 24-year-old was arrested and two passengers, a 14-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy, were taken to a juvenile treatment center.

In Oregon – A 52-year-old woman and a 46-year-old man were arrested in their home on charges of unlawful delivery and possession of Meth.  Authorities seized "a dealer quantity" of Meth, digital scales, packaging material and paraphernalia. 

In South Carolina – A 31-year-old man was arrested after deputies discovered a Meth lab in his home.  The lab was found after a fire destroyed a storage building on the property.  The man and his 41-year-old girlfriend both face multiple Meth-related charges. 

In Florida - Sheriff's deputies pulled over a Winnebago for expired registration stickers.  A canine unit alerted officers to the presence of narcotics and a search turned up Meth, plus chemicals and equipment to manufacture Meth.  The driver, a 61-year-old man, was arrested on charges of Meth possession and trafficking and other charges.
