Man nabbed with alleged meth lab
A stake out paid off for lawmen recently when they allegedly caught a Dibrell man making methamphetamine in the woods.
The suspect, George William Brown, 44, was charged with manufacture of meth when deputies caught him allegedly mixing chemicals in the woods, amongst what officers believe is an operable meth lab.
According to Sheriff Jackie Matheny, several meth making components were found in a wooded area off Sullivan Road when deputies went to follow up on information they had received. Officers then set up surveillance for several hours, eventually leaving for a short period.
When they returned that same evening, Matheny said lawmen found Brown in the woods, allegedly in the process of making methamphetamine.
“It was a fairly big lab,” Matheny said, noting the wooded area was located not far from the suspect’s home.
