Meth News

And Undersheriff Rick Scott says that individuals who were arrested for having meth labs in the 1990s and early 2000s are starting to get out of prison.

In April, deputies found their first meth lab in the county in nearly three years at a home in the Ocosta area. Scott said deputies arrested a man who had just been released from prison for meth-related activity.

"He was attempting to get back in the business," Scott said. "And there is a concern as more of these kinds of people get out of prison, there could be a slight resurgence in domestic production either to satisfy their own habits or to make money. ...

"Also a driving factor is that Mexican law enforcement has been dismantling the drug cartels, which is making the availability of meth more sporadic," Scott added.
Could meth labs make a comeback?
