Four people charged when meth lab found

Four people were charged after a domestic violence call led to the discovery of a methamphetamine lab in a trailer on McReynolds Road.

Charged as result of the raid are Michael E. Moore, 41, Christopher D. Moore, 32, Shawn Edward Martin, 24, and Jamie Michelle Jones, 24. All four are charged with manufacture and possession of meth and possession of marijuana.

According to Sheriff Jackie Matheny, the discovery happened when deputies were dispatched to the residence to investigate a domestic call. The exact nature of the domestic situation was not revealed.

When officers arrived, they reported seeing Jones run inside. Jones was wanted on arrest warrants for violation of probation, prompting officers to enter the house and find her hiding in the bathroom.

During their pursuit of Jones, lawmen reported seeing several items commonly used in the production of meth and smelling a strong odor associated with meth cooking. A subsequent search of the residence netted what Matheny called a large meth lab.
