One of the biggest meth labs in recent Escambia County history was discovered in Molino Saturday.

It took deputies and a hazardous materials team about 15 hours in to cleanup the methamphetamine lab in the 800 block of Nancy Lane off Highway 95A, about a quarter mile behind Highland Baptist Church. (A map is at the bottom of this story.)

Five people were arrested on various drug and child neglect charges due to a 10 year old living in the house.

Arrested were:

  • Erica Diamond, 23, charged with child neglect, narcotics violation, trafficking, and possession/distribution chemical with known use to manufacture controlled substance. Her total bond was set at $21,500.
  • Shannon Lee Boone, 22, charged with aggravated child abuse, two counts of narcotics violation, trafficking, possession/distribution chemical with known use to manufacture controlled substance, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, introducing contraband into a jail and violation of probation. His bond was set at $78,000.
  • Amy Peavy, 28, charged with child neglect, narcotics violation, trafficking, and possession/distribution chemical with known use to manufacture controlled substance. Her total bond was set at $21,500.
  • Doy Lynn Josey, 46, charged with aggravated child abuse, four counts narcotics violation, trafficking and possession/distribution chemical with known use to manufacture controlled substance. His total bond was set at $42,000.
  • Johnny Ray Smith, 37, charged with driving while license suspended or revoked, child neglect, narcotics violation, trafficking, possession/distribution chemical with known use to manufacture controlled substance, failure of a defendant on bond to appear. His total bond was set at $34,500.

As of late Sunday night, all five suspects remained in the Escambia County Jail.

The meth lab was discovered in the quiet neighborhood after Smith was stopped about 6 a.m. for a traffic violation. Smith was discovered to be in possession of methamphetamines and other drug paraphernalia. Deputies were tipped off to the meth lab in the house by that traffic stop.

    You know its so sad to read about this mess each and every week. Alot of these people are young kids and its a sad thing to think some will spend life in prison over this poison they have chosen to do. I wish we could get rid of all this mess before it destroys alot more lives. I have seen it ruin alot of lives and some of the people were very good people at one time. I pray for all the family members that are suffering for what there loved ones are doing to them

    Rule number 1: Never assume you know what your neighbor is doing. I don’t care how many times you talk to someone or how long you know someone, you never really know what is going on in their life.

    Thank you ECSO for catching this drug producing scum. Now if the state attorney will keep up his end of the bargain and lock them up for a long time everyone will be happy.
