A person who is operating methamphetamine labs in his own home may find that he's not living at home too long into the future. There are many reasons why running such a dangerous operation out of your home will come to the attention of the police. That realization may have dawned on a North Carolina man who was recently accused of running meth labs in his Rowan County home, and arrested on multiple drug charges.
Man, wife charged with drug trafficking in upscale neighborhood
Recently police executed a search warrant at a house in an upscale neighborhood in Union County. A news organization subsequently reported the police had intercepted a high-grade hydroponic marijuana-growing operation. A 44-year-old man and his 39-year-old wife were arrested and charged with felony charges of possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana, possession of marijuana, and maintaining a dwelling to store or sell a controlled substance. While police assert the marijuana seized had a street value of $62,000, they did not disclose the amount of claimed marijuana on which they based that estimate.
