Meth Found in Chip Bag

2009-10-09T04:43:00.003-07:00

Two people, 36-year-old Enrique Orozco and 27-year-old Vanessa Concepcion Gaxiola, were driving in a 2003 Chevrolet pickup truck west on Interstate 10 when a DPS K-9 unit pulled them over near Marana.

The two said they were driving to Phoenix, but DPS officials tell New Times the couple was acting suspiciously, which prompted the officer to ask if he could search the vehicle.

When the two said no, the officer had a narcotics canine walk around the truck.

When the dog indicated there were drugs in the car, the couple's objection to a search was noted and ignored.

Officers found an open half-full potato chip bag on the back seat of the truck and as you may have guessed, it was full of crystal meth.

"There are some smart criminals, but they aren't all rocket scientists," a DPS official says. "Our dogs are very accurate."

The officer found close to a half pound of meth.

Orozco and Gaxiola were arrested and booked into the Pima County Jail on charges of possession and transportation of dangerous drugs.

Shake and Bake Meth Lab

2009-10-01T00:34:00.000-07:00

Making meth requires an good lab - with plenty of meth lab ingredients - without giving off odors and sparking explosions and is hidden in rural areas.

But now meth cooks are using a "shake-and-bake" method, that is faster, cheaper and a simpler method with meth lab ingredients that can be carried in a backpack and mixed just about anywhere.

The "shake-and-bake" is popular because it now only takes a small area to make a small amount, and it takes only a small number of decongestant pills "pseudoephedrine" that is easily obtained even under the toughest anti-meth laws that restrict large purchases of some cold medication.

Mobile Meth Lab

An Ohio man is under arrest after allegedly turning his car into a mobile lab for making methamphetamine.
"He had everything he needed to make meth," said Lt. Scott Denniss of the North Canton Police Department. "Right there in one little tub of goodies."

According to police, Aaron Broadwater, 23, was driving with a friend when he was pulled over for a routine traffic stop. Lt. Denniss said the officer received permission to search Broadwater’s Ford Focus. The officer "found big heavy duty containers full of chemicals normally used in a meth lab to make meth," Lt. Denniss told CNN.
Authorities said a more thorough search uncovered more evidence of a portable drug factory. "They had fuel, lye, diet pills, pretty much you name it, " Lt. Denniss said. "They had a hot plate to cook it in, and empty capsules to put the powder in."
Lt. Denniss said the capsules are normally sold for around $20 a piece.

Meth Lab by Grandma

2009-08-19T02:11:00.000-07:00

In Sidney, Michigan police arrested 5 adults for having a meth lab in their house. Among those adults were Lorri Compo and her main squeeze Roman Sobie. Also present at the drug raid was Compo's 1-year-old grandson Steven Rish Jr. After the bust Steven was released to his paternal grandmother who found a baggie of meth in his diaper.

Steven's mother also lives at the residence and wasn't home at the time of the raid. She claims she had no idea meth was being cooked in the house. I’m a little leery of that because meth productions causes a distinct odor. But she hasn't been charged with a crime so that’s neither here nor there.

NASCAR Meth

2009-05-12T14:11:00.000-07:00

NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield tested positive for meth during a random drug screening May 1 at Richmond International Raceway.

In court documents filed in the past two weeks (Mayfield sought a temporary restraining order to return to the track; NASCAR countersued), it was revealed that Mayfield had admitted ingesting a double dosage of Claritin-D, an allergy medication, and the prescription drug Adderall XR immediately prior to the Richmond drug test conducted for NASCAR.

Mayfield claims the Adderall XR had been prescribed by a physician to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

However, a third drug came up positive for meth during the urine-based Richmond test. The name of the drug in question has been redacted from court documents and was not specified by either Mayfield or NASCAR because of the conditions of a May 29 gag order issued in Mecklenburg County Superior Court in North Carolina.
