Meth lab arrests
Ector County sheriff deputies along with FBI and Department of Public Safety agents raided a suspected methamphetamine lab north of Odessa late Wednesday, according to a news release from Ector County sheriff Sgt. Gary Duesler.
Leah Ann Lynch, 40, and Russell Kirk Nichols, 47, were both arrested and charged with a third-degree felony count of possession of methamphetamine in connection to the search. Both were in federal custody without bond.
According to the release, neighbors made several complaints about a home at 1300 E. 57th St., starting a two-month investigation that led authorities to get a search warrant.
The release said investigators found about three grams of meth along with several components used to manufacture it, including glassware and chemicals.
