Deputies raid meth lab on Green Hill Road
Deputies raided an alleged meth lab last week, seizing over 10 grams of finished product from an outbuilding off West Green Hill Road.
The resident of the home, Donnie Shields, 33, is charged with possession and manufacture of meth. Lawmen say Shields admitted he was a meth user.
According to Sheriff Jackie Matheny, officers executed a search warrant on Shields’ residence after receiving information that drug activity was occurring there. A search of the premises revealed a lab inside an outbuilding just behind the Shields residence.
“It was a pretty good lab,” Matheny said. “We found numerous layered liquids, ephedrine and red phosphorous.”
Matheny said investigators believe Shields had recently been producing the drug and may have recently finished “gassing off” the cook.
