Sheriff's Office: Easy production makes meth more dangerous
Posted: Updated:  Making meth doesn't require a lab or any fancy
equipment, just some items that can be found in most homes.
According to the Colleton County Sheriff's Office, that's what
makes the drug so dangerous.  It's a deadly drug with an easy

spaces like cars, mobile homes, and hotel rooms. He says
spotting these makeshift meth labs has transformed training for
narcotic teams in the last few years. Officers are also learning
which ingredients are red flags.  "They're going to have to have

and allergy medicines. Chapman says Sout
