A Braxton County man has been arrested and jailed for allegedly operating a clandestine meth lab.

Braxton sheriff deputies say they got a tip from an informant that 33 year-old David Lee Pardue had a meth lab at a home near Burnsville.

Police say they found a duffel bag filled with the items used to make methamphetamine as well as a cell phone that indicated he might be planning to deliver.

He has been charged with operating a clandestine lab and conspiracy, and is being held at the Central Regional Jail on a $100,000 bond.
