Methamphetamine and its manufacture in clandestine labs has become an increasing problem in the Tennessee Valley. This highly addictive drug has become as much of a plague on society as crack has been since the early 1980's. If you know the location of one of these highly volatile labs, I urge you to contact your local police department.

In July of 2002, myself and other Chattanooga Police 'Fox Team' Officers located a working meth lab inside a home in the 1600 block of East 47th Street, while responding to a tip from a neighbor. Three of the four people involved in the manufacture of the illegal drug ultimately pled guilty after a Criminal Court Judge upheld the search after a lengthy suppression hearing.

Cash and Marijuana recovered from a vehicle that approached a police checkpoint on Suck Creek Road. The presence of the marijuana was discovered when the driver rolled down his window (while smoking a joint) and a plume of smoke rolled into the night sky...not the smartest thing that he
ever did.
