Charleston Police Find Outdoor Meth Lab
WEST VIRGINIA....
Charleston police were dispatched late last week to the Foodland store on Spring Street to investigate a possible meth lab after store manager Sheila Burgess became suspicious when 38 year old Michael Scott Jones of Wyoming Street, walked into the woods behind the store after buying six bottles of iodine and one bottle of peroxide. Upon investigation, officers discovered Jones standing by a tree with a large blue tarp slung over its branches to create shelter while he was bent over, pouring a liquid into a canister. When officers got closer they noticed a plastic bag containing white powder, a peroxide bottle cut in half with a red liquid inside, and several other meth-making ingredients. Jones attempted to run, but, once handcuffed, he told officers he only breaks down the ingredients and prepares the meth lab for cooking, but does not do the actual cooking.
