Four Arrested, One Sought In Meth Lab Bust

On 10-17-12, members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force went to 2307 Beech Bluff Road to arrest Randy Lewis Cary on an outstanding Carroll County warrant for Especially Aggravated Kidnapping, Aggravated Domestic Assault and Aggravated Rape. Cary was located there and taken into custody. While Task Force Members were on the scene, probable cause was discovered and indicated that a Methamphetamine Lab was present in a vehicle on the property.

Jackson-Madison County Metro Narcotics Investigators were summoned to the scene and a search of the suspect vehicle revealed precursors, reagents and equipment contained within. Metro Narcotics Investigators processed the lab components and a Response Truck from the Tennessee Methamphetamine and Pharmaceutical Task Force was called to the scene to package and remove the hazardous wastes. The property at 2307 Beech Bluff Road is within 1,000 feet of the real property of both, Rose Hill Middle School and East Union Baptist Church which contains a Day Care facility. When officers initially arrived on the scene, Ricky Peters fled the scene leaving four other persons present. Of the four, three were arrested and charged with the meth lab and the forth was arrested on an outstanding warrant. Peters is still being sought in connection with the lab.
