The Harrison County Sheriff’s Department SCAD unit and the Lewis County Sheriff’s Deputy Meth Lab Team responded to the scene and located an active methamphetamine lab under the back seat of the minivan.
Police charged both men with felonies for operating a clandestine laboratory and conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.
