Search Warrant Uncovers ‘One Pot’ Meth Lab

November 24, 2013

Investigators located a “one pot” meth lab when they executed a search warrant Thursday night at home just south of 10 Mile Road.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Narcotic Unit executed the search warrant in the 1000 block of Cobblestone Drive, off Guidy Lane. Deputies reported finding a “one pot” meth lab, marijuana, pills and a long list of items commonly used and associated with meth labs.

A resident of the home, 37-year old Alex Thomas Johnson, was charged three counts of possession of a listed chemical, producing methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance and driving while license suspended. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $25,000.

The Escambia County Rapid Response United responded to clear the home of hazardous materials.

At least one additional arrest is expected in the case, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.

    @ Perdido resident:

    So you are saying that is marijuana was legal that this guy would not be cooking up meth? I do not follow your logic. This guy is scum and is polluting the community in which we live. Matter of fact, he lives less than a mile from my house. Great job ECSO! Send him to state prison and I will take over from there.

    Ya, that’s the ticket. Once a law has been broken enough, remove it and make it legal? This thug didn’t have marijuana for medical needs. He had it to conduct illegal activity. I guess if enough people drink and drive or rob banks, we should relate that too.

    If you legalize marijuana then it wont have to be sold by criminals like this pushing hard, strong, addictive drugs, regulate it like alcohol.
