Two people were arrested Monday night for their alleged involvement in a meth lab at a Newburgh home.
Warrick County Sheriffs deputies obtained a search warrant around 3 that afternoon and discovered an active lab in the garage of 618 Law Drive.
Authorities were on the scene for seven hours, carefully dismantling it.
They report they found 5 to 6 grams of finished product...a street value of approximately $600.
Newburgh Police Chief Brett Sprinkle called the lab one of the biggest hes seen. He says neighbors had complained about heavy traffic and police had been watching the area.
Sprinkle says they arrested the homeowners son, 47 year old Henry Busan on several charges, including manufacturing, dealing and possession. Another man, 34 year old Joseph Vailes was also taken into custody for visiting a common nuisance.
