In
Tennessee – 35-people have been charged in a Meth round up after local
and federal officers spent 18-months investigating suspected Meth
trafficking. Two of the suspects are believed to be major Meth dealers in
the area. Authorities searched two retail locations that were also Meth
hotspots. The manager of one store said he had no idea two of his
employees had Meth on the premises.
In
Kansas - A jury found a 26-year-old man guilty of capital murder in
the 2005 killing of a sheriff, as well as convicting him of four counts of
attempted capital murder against two deputies and two state troopers,
manufacturing Meth and criminal possession of a firearm. The defendant
admitted to the killing, but he also admitted he was high on Meth at the
time. His defense attorney argued that his client would not have had the
forethought to commit premeditated murder due to his Meth use. Jurors
will now decide whether to sentence the defendant to death or life in
prison without parole.
In
Arkansas - An apartment manager discovered Meth-related paraphernalia
inside a trash compacter he was trying to repair. The manager called
police to the apartment, one of many housing University students.
Officers then found evidence of a Meth lab that they believe was
relatively new. Two women and one man were living in the one-bedroom
apartment. Police suspect the man was responsible for the Meth lab.
In
Idaho - A 33-year-old man and his 32-year-old wife were arrested after
police discovered a Meth lab in their home. The couple is charged with
several felonies, including manufacturing Meth and injury to a
child. State protective services removed four children from the house.
In
California –
An officer
that pulled a driver over for traffic violations noticed the man was more
nervous than what would be considered usual. The officer used a K9 to
scout out the van and got an alert to drugs. The ensuing search turned up
eight-pounds of Meth packaged in six duct-taped bags behind the rear air
conditioning unit. The driver, 45-years-old, was arrested on suspicion of
Meth possession for sales and transportation for sales.
In
Minnesota –
A 39-year-old man
was arrested for selling Meth after being caught in a sting operation. A
confidential informant arranged to purchase a half-ounce of Meth from the
suspect. The informant allegedly bought 14.3-grams of Meth from the man
at a residence, and later told police the man took the Meth from a shelf
in the bathroom of the residence. The suspect also allegedly carried a
gun in his pocket the entire time, with his right hand on the gun during
the buy. The suspect is charged with first-degree controlled substance
crime, first-degree controlled substance crime while in possession of a
firearm and possession of drug paraphernalia. He faces a maximum sentence
of 60 years imprisonment and/or $2-million in fines if he is convicted on
all charges.
In
Michigan - A judge will decide if parents of an infant who died of
dehydration and malnutrition due to neglect in a suspected Meth lab will
face murder charges. The two have been charged with the second-degree
murder of their 18-month-old son, a life felony. They are also charged
with Meth manufacturing and maintenance of a lab. During the pretrial
hearing, the medical examiner testified the child’s death was homicide due
to malnutrition and dehydration due to child neglect. Officers who
responded to the home after a call for help described putrid living
conditions and the evidence of a Meth lab. The judge will rule later in
November if there is enough evidence to bind the suspects over to circuit
court.
In
West Virginia - Deputies spotted a
26-year-old woman driving recklessly, then throw out a gasoline container
onto the road. The deputy who pulled the woman over reportedly found a
Meth lab setup in the car, along with a chemistry instruction book. The
suspect is charged with attempting to manufacture Meth.
