Six people were arrested on August 24 for manufacturing methamphetamine, after officers discovered a meth lab in a residence on Spring Drive.
The Wayne County Sheriff's Office, the Monticello Police Department and the Lake Cumberland Area Drug Task Force received information on Tuesday, August 24 that meth was being made at the residence of Patricia Hicks.
Upon arrival, officers found three active methamphetamine labs hidden in a compartment in the bathroom of the residence. Officers also located lithium batteries, salt, amonia nitrate, bottles, glass jars and tubing in the residence.
Hicks was arrested and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and two counts of controlled substance endangerment to a child.
Lucas Garner, Willis Koger, Jeff Coffey, Jessica Dople and Joseph McDermott were charged with manufacturing methamphetamine. They were all lodged in the Wayne County Detention Center.
Hicks' two minor children were present in the residence with the meth labs. The Cabinet for Families and Children removed the children, and they were transported to the Wayne County Hospital to be tested for contamination.
Officers were assisted at the scene by the Monticello Fire Department.
The investigation is continuing and more arrests are expected.
