In recent days, troopers had received numerous tips about possible methamphetamine activity at this residence.

During a search of the home and property, troopers discovered three active “one pot” meth labs in the kitchen area of the home and numerous items associated with the manufacture and use of methamphetamine in various other rooms of the home.
