In Iowa – A 23-year-old man was arrested for possession and production of Meth. The investigation began last summer, when officers checked out a speedway and found items for Meth manufacturing.  Police then found more Meth-associated items in the suspect’s apartment.  He admitted the items belonged to him. 

In New Mexico – 25-people busted for involvement in an elaborate Meth ring have started the court process.  The alleged ringleader, a 27-year-old man, faces 139-felony counts.  He allegedly had six coworkers stash Meth; nine people distribute it, and 15 users who may have sold it.  The rest of the group faces charges ranging from Meth possession to trafficking and conspiracy. 

In Iowa - Two men, 44- and 41-years-old, were arrested after officers found a Meth lab in an attic in the younger man’s home.  They face charges of conspiracy to manufacture Meth. 

In Tennessee - A 41-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman are charged with promoting the manufacture of Meth.  Police arrested them at their home after investigating tips about drug activity.  Officers noticed the strong chemical smell associated with Meth labs and received the couple’s permission to search the house.  They allegedly found several Meth lab components at the rear of the house, and the man gave a written statement admitting that he had allowed another individual to operate a Meth lab at his home while he was present.  Officers believe the other man involved loaded the remainder of the lab into a car and left just prior to the police arrival.
