Explosives Found During Meth Bust

ANGELINA COUNTY — Federal agents took over the scene of an Angelina County Sheriff’s Office methamphetamine bust Thursday evening off FM 1819 after high explosives were found. The SWAT team arrived at the home of Raymond Bell Thursday evening to find he was not at home, but authorities say, Larry Flournoy, who was at the home, was taken into custody. A search of the house uncovered a full lab, six grams of finished product, guns and high explosives in another building. Hill said investigators had been warned there could be explosives on scene.

Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were immediately contacted. Investigators said they had been running surveilance on Bell for about a year. Flournoy was taken to the Angelina County Jail Thursday night. Bell agreed to talk to investigators Friday morning.
