A Gassaway man has been arrested on meth charges for a half-dozen meth labs in Webster County. Matthew Burton Friend, 25, has been charged with six counts of conspiracy and operating a clandestine lab. Authorities say a drug task force found six labs in Bolair last week, allegedly linked to Friend. State Police in Webster County told media that so-called "shake and bake" meth labs are becoming a serious problem in that mountain county.
