Perry County Meth Lab Bust

Perry County Sheriff’s Deputies and Agents with the Central Ohio Drug Enforcement Task Force executed a search warrant Tuesday at 10185 Township Road 57 in Roseville.

During the search, agents located an active methamphetamine lab on the property along with other drug manufacturing equipment. Authorities said there was evidence found that suggested that meth was being produced at this location for some time.

Agents also found a 2-year-old and an 11-year-old child present at the home during the search. The Perry County Children Services was called into investigate the welfare of the children, and they have been removed from the home.

Agents arrested a 28-year-old male on felony drug manufacturing charges. His name is being withheld until formal charges are filed. He is currently being held at the Southeast Ohio Regional Jail in Nelsonville, Ohio. Other suspects have been identified by investigators and charges relating to their involvement are expected to follow.
