Sheriff's Major Wendell Cofer stated they always act on citizen complaints and on Thursday a meth lab bust was the result.
Sheriff's Investigators Chip Nix and Pat Trolinger went to the residence at 111 Lynn Justice Road, off Kelly Road. After speaking with the residents, they set up surveillance from the wooded area behind the house.
The 2 investigators observed the suspects attempt to burn a meth lab in a back yard burn pile and then take off. Investigators Nix and Trolinger were able to retrieve evidence from the fire. At that time, they received a search warrant for the home and obtained more evidence of a meth lab.
