Four Kids Found In Home With Meth Lab

May 3, 2013

Authorities say they found four children living in a home where they discovered an active meth lab.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office found the working meth lab inside a home in the 8500 block of Acapulco Camino. Inside the home with four children, deputies reported finding numerous materials commonly used in the manufacture of methamphetamine.

The children – ages 1, 9, 11 and 13 — were turned over to other family members for care, and a hazardous materials team was called to clean up hydrochloric acid and other chemicals.

Melissa Rae Anderson, 37; Richard Melcolm Anderson, 53; Hershel Keith Cranford, 31; Shelly M. Cranford, 27; and Camron Lechelle Hummel, 34, were each charged with manufacturing methamphetamine with a child present, two counts of producing methamphetamine, possession of narcotics equipment, and two counts of possession of a chemical with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine.

They were  booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $86,000 each. All five remained in the Escambia County Jail early Friday morning.

    Knock him all you want, but Sheriff Morgan and his crew are getting the job done. Keep up the good work.

    Glad to see ECSO trying to clean up the neighborhood. Keep up the good work. Sad to hear children were exposed to this environment.
