November 7
In Nevada – The man who made national news when evidence tying him to a videotape of a 2-year-old girl being sexually assaulted turned up blames Meth for much of his problems.  The child, now 7, is with her mother and is fine; the man who allegedly abused the girl has been arrested.  The tape came to light when a man turned it over to authorities while involved in a drug court.  Sheriff’s officers say the man, charged with possession of child pornography, held onto the tape for months, knowing it was proof of a crime against children.  A defense attorney claims his client was using Meth at the time, and that made him paranoid about law enforcement.  

In Alabama – Officers who pulled a car over for a routine stop discovered crystal Meth and ecstasy tablets in the vehicle.  They also discovered paraphernalia, including Meth pipes.  The two men in the car were arrested on possession charges.

In New Zealand - Two massive hauls of Meth were seized at the border. Police and customs officials netted 150 kilograms of Meth – just over 330-pounds – as well as a large quantity of pseudoephedrine.  The pseudoephedrine was discovered hidden in roofing tiles. Two men have been charged. Customs officials say the drugs were destined for Meth labs and local dealers.

In Louisiana - A family is accused of cooking Meth at their house.  A 43-year-old man, his 36-year-old wife and their 18-year-old son were all arrested during a search of their home.  They each face charges o running a Meth lab, possessing Meth with the intent to deliver and conspiracy.

In Kentucky - Two people accused of shipping large amounts of Meth through the mail have been arrested.  The men, 66- and 36-years-old, face preliminary felony charges of Meth dealing.  Authorities followed the two’s activity for months before raiding a hotel room they were staying in.  A search turned up 3.2-grams of Meth packaged for sale, more than $2,600 in cash, a glass smoking pipe and a radio frequency detector.  Both men had felony narcotic warrants out for their arrests on previous charges.

In Mississippi - Two men on the U.S. Marshals Most Wanted list have been arrested and are charged with Meth manufacturing in a motel. Marshals found the 54-year-old man and his 27-year-old nephew when an agent recognized the older man working on a car in the motel parking lot.  They executed a search warrant and found an active Meth lab in their room and a larger mobile lab inside their van. Officers also came across newspaper clippings of articles describing the two as suspects on the Most Wanted list.

In Arkansas - Investigators following up a tip on Meth manufacturing gathered enough evidence to get a search warrant for the house. Officers found a large Meth lab in the home and arrested a 52-year-old man on charges of Meth possession with intent to deliver.  Deputies also found three guns, 4- to 5-pounds of marijuana, and finished Meth in the house.  

In Kansas
One of two underage people was taken into custody after a traffic stop.  The officer discovered 12-grams of suspected Meth in the car.  One youngster was placed at a state Juvenile Detention Center.
