In Florida - Deputies investigating a tip about Meth manufacturing smelled the strong chemical odor associated with labs when they approached the home.  Through a window, they saw the lab, including a large metal canister.  Officers evacuated nearby homes and arrested the resident, a 37-year-old man, as well as a 47-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman who were there during the raid.  Two of them are charged with Meth manufacturing and the third is charged with Meth possession.

In Indiana – A 48-year-old man who allegedly stole a cigarette lighter now faces multiple drug charges.  Police went to his home with an arrest warrant on the theft charge and reported the odor of marijuana in the apartment.  Officers arrested the suspect on the theft charge and then got a search warrant for the apartment.  Once inside, they reportedly found a Meth lab, the materials to make Meth and marijuana. 

In Ohio - Sheriff's deputies arrested two men after finding them in a motel room making Meth.  The 26-year-old and 21-year-old both face a first-degree felony charge of illegal Meth manufacturing.

In Washington – A 49-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man were arrested after purchasing Sudafed at dozens of pharmacies.  Pharmacists at various stores became suspicious and started calling around to let others know, and also tipped off police.
