POLICE SEARCHING FOR CALHOUN METH LAB - Hog Knob Residence Targeted

(07/23/2004)
State Police made a search of a residence reportedly belonging to James "Bub" Jones in the Hog Knob area early Friday morning, looking for a lab that could reportedly produce methamphetamine.

The West Virginia State Police obtained a search warrant early Friday morning.

Police reportedly stopped a vehicle earlier in Braxton County that was carrying a supply of ingredients for meth production, which led to the identification of a person or persons who were allegedly using the chemicals for the manufacture of the illegal drug.

State Policeman Sr. Trooper J. D. Hunt of the Grantsville Detachment were processing the search warrant during the early morning hours today.

Braxton authorities made more than one arrest related to the case.
