Two suspects have been identified in connection with a large stash of stolen property and a meth lab operation found Tuesday in north Santa Rosa County — an operation that could be one of the largest of its kind in the county.

Daniel Wayne King, 36, and Barbara Carroll King, 38, were both charged with  drug possession, possession of narcotics equipment, trafficking in methamphetamine, marijuana possession, possession of methamphetamine, and manufacturing methamphetamine. They are being held in the Santa Rosa County jail on $246,000 bond each.

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office responded to a stolen property complaint at the Kings’ residence 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 that the Kings and third person, who was not been named, were trading meth for the stolen property.

    What’s sad, is they probably have children that will suffer far more than they will in prison, or grandma will raise them.

    Actually, it looks kind of like their meth might have blown up while they were cooking!
    Glad they will be put out of business…..

    I guess making meth leaves lots of time for sun-bathing judging by the fungus spots on her face. Wonder what she looked like before the crack took hold of her?

    Methamphetamine is extremely addictive. Don’t ever get tempted to try it…pushers will lie to you. I know of people who lost all their teeth from it and people have been killed by addicts who become paranoid from it. If that’s not enough, here’s the evidence of people having to steal to support their habit.

    Years ago (dinosaurs still roamed the earth) I had a lot of friends who were using drugs. A girl once said to me, “I know when to quit”.
    I asked a simple question: What organ will you use to be able to decide when to quit?
    “My brain”, she said. What organ is affected by the drug?, I asked. The conversation ended there.

    Looking at his eye and scratched up forehead… I was looking for a ‘resisting arrest’ charge as well……

    Throw them in prison and throw away the keys.
    Show them no mercy, for they deserve none!

    Is there any doubt about their guilt?
    They were caught with the proverbial “smoking gun”!
