Deputies Find Meth Lab, Stolen Property In North Santa Rosa

August 19, 2009

Authorities in north Santa Rosa County uncovered a large amount of stolen property and a meth lab, an operation that could be one of the largest of its kind in the county.

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office responded to a stolen property complaint on Green Road near Munson. When they arrived, they found a large number of stolen items across the property including vehicles, portable buildings, tools, lawn equipment, farm equipment, guns and more. The property was stolen from both northwest Florida and south Alabama.

Deputies also discovered two large methamphetamine lab operations, one inside a portable building and one inside a construction trailer. One of the meth labs was a large scale operation, according to investigators.

Authorities said the stolen property was likely amassed over a period of several years. They believe the property owners were trading meth for the stolen property.

Three people were arrested Tuesday by Santa Rosa deputies. One was identified as Joe Danny King. Deputies did not immediately identify the other two individuals that were arrested.
