Couple arrested for meth again
A Bell Street couple was nabbed for the second time in two months operating a meth lab inside their suburban home.
The suspects, Donovan Woods and Janet Osborne, were arrested Friday morning when lawmen executed a search warrant on their Bell Street home, located near Westwood. Making entry to the basement portion of the house, lawmen reported finding Woods inside a bathroom where he was allegedly in the act of making the illegal drug. McMinnville Police Investigator Lt. Derwin Adcock said Woods locked himself in the bathroom for a short time when police entered the house and had to be forced to exit.
Adcock said lawmen found numerous items used in the production of meth along with what they believe is some finished product. The lab, Adcock said, was somewhat crude given the history associated with meth lab raids at the home.
The last raid came March 26 when police discovered a lab inside the same house, arresting Woods and Osborne on the meth charges. On that occasion, police reported finding nice glassware used in the operation, materials they believe may have been bought through a mail order catalog which was found in the house. Police also believe the recipe for the drugs may have been taken from the Internet, given printouts they found during the first raid.
The couple had recently been indicted in connection with the lab found there in March and were free on bond awaiting arraignment on the former charges when they were arrested with their second lab Friday.
