One-pot meth lab recovered by Athens County Sheriff’s Office

By Julia Fair | Mar. 19, 2015

The Athens Major Crime Unit removed remnants of a one-pot meth lab Thursday, according to a news release from the Athens County Sheriff’s Office.A York Township road repair crew noticed a suspicious bottle near 12762 Ten Spot Rd. in Nelsonville, and it appeared to have been tossed out of a passing vehicle, according to the news release.An investigation into the event is ongoing.A one-pot meth lab consists of a bottle or can filled with the needed combination of chemicals to produce the drug, according to a WCYB report from 2013. The bottles or cans are prone to explosions, according to that report.Although one-pot is frequently used to describe those small meth labs, it’s also common for two bottles or cans to be used. The secondary bottle often has tubes of hoses coming out of the top of it, and are equally dangerous, according to the news release.“If and only if it can be done safely, a photo could be taken with a cell phone and then that photo could be emailed or sent as a text message to law enforcement for an initial evaluation,” Athens County Sheriff Rodney Smith said in the news release.@Fair3JuliaJf311013@ohio.edu
