A meth lab of sorts was discovered in the nearby area of Beechgrove.

Late last week Coffee County Sheriff's Department Investigator James Sherrill and Deputy Brandon Reed received information about a possible methamphetamine cook going on at Ashley Drive in Lakewood Park.

While standing in the doorway of the camper home the investigator and deputy said they could smell a possible meth lab being "gassed off."

After receiving permission to search the camper home, Deputy Reed says in his report that he saw in plain view, needles and straws used to allegedly "snort pills and shoot up narcotics."

One subject asked for them to stop searching after Deputy Reed said he saw other items associated with meth making. Reed stated he would get a search warrant and Sherrill stayed at the location.

The investigator then called Reed back to the camper after a female subject said she wanted Sherrill to remove certain items from the home and gave permission to go back inside. After going back inside Sherrill allegedly located a bag with meth making items inside, including cold packs, crystal drain opener, lighter fluid, aluminum, lye, needle caps and coffee filters. Later in search other items were found that included; Acetone, alcohol, more lighter fluid, more aluminum, needles, pill grinder, jar of solvent, more coffee filters, peroxide, more drain opener, Sprite bottle with a coffee filter in it and other paraphernalia.

Outside the camper more meth making items were found in the trash including receipts from an area pharmacy where lithium batteries, cold packs and pseudoephedrine were purchased. Video from the pharmacy showed two of the male subjects that were at the camper buying the products.

Two males and a female will be facing possible charges when their cases are brought to the next Coffee County Grand Jury.
