In Iowa - A 32-year-old man pleaded guilty to helping sell more than 150-pounds of Meth. The charges included conspiracy to distribute Meth. He admitted to bringing Meth from California to Iowa in hidden compartments in his truck. He faces a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10-years and possibly life in prison when he is sentenced.

In Georgia –A deputy checking on the location of a burglary suspect got permission from a resident to search for the man and for stolen firearms. When they searched a bedroom, they found a number of items associated with Meth manufacturing. The investigator asked the man if a nearby container was an active Meth cook, the suspect explained it was a pill wash, and that there was Meth stored in a container inside a shed. Officers found the Meth and arrested the 26-year-old man.

In Michigan - Police busted a Meth lab when they followed up on a tip. The informant said that a 21-year-old man was cooking Meth and dumping the lab waste in his backyard and along the roadside. When officers searched the property, they found evidence of about 20 prior Meth cooks, seized some finished Meth and arrested the suspect.

In Tennessee – A 43-year-old woman, free on bond after being charged with Meth manufacturing, allegedly called officers with a burglary complaint from her home - which had been quarantined. She reported that two men had gotten into the house through a window while she was taking a bath. Deputies found a broken window but no burglary suspects. The woman was charged with criminal trespassing for returning to the quarantined residence.

In North Carolina – A resident called police about a disoriented person wandering around a neighborhood. When officers arrived, they asked the man where he lived. He pointed to a home and the police found a Meth lab inside it. A man and a woman were arrested. Investigators aren't sure if anyone was selling Meth from the house, but they believe the couple was also making Meth at the woman’s home in a different area.
