Meth Lab Discovered

VAN ZANDT COUNTY — Van Zandt County Sheriff�s Investigators discover a meth lab while conducting a follow-up at a local known drug location. It happened Tuesday at a residence near the Kaufman County/Van Zandt County line. Shortly after arriving at the location it was learned that two males had fled on foot out the back from two out buildings that set toward the back of the property. Investigators say they noticed a smell that lead them to believe that methamphetamines were being cooked or had been cooked there recently. After being given consent by the owner of the out building to enter, authorities located what was believed to be a methamphetamine lab. Investigators located multiple bags of a white powdery substance believed to be methamphetamine, ranging in weight from the largest being just over 28 grams to some only having a few grams. Charges are pending for manufacture and delivery, felon in possession of a fire arm and possibly violation of parole.
