GREENUP —
A Greenup County man and woman have been charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and felony wanton endangerment of a juvenile.
Melissa Stewart, 39, and Michael J. Rackley, 34, both living in the 100 block of Redbird Street in the Cardinal Point area of Greenup County, reportedly had a meth lab and components used in the manufacturing of methamphetamine at their residence. There was also a juvenile at the scene, according to a Greenup County Sheriff’s Department press release.
The arrest took place Sunday. The Kentucky State Police Hazmat Cleanup team processed the scene.
At about 3:50 p.m. Sunday, Greenup sheriff’s deputies responded to a shoplifting call at the Dollar General Store in Wurtland. Investigation of the call led deputies to a residence in the 100 block of Redbird Street where they found the meth lab, according to the press release.
Deputies also located a suspicious vehicle on Ky. 2 where three more were arrested and charged with multiple drug offenses, according to the press release. The names of those arrested were not released.
A second vehicle containing multiple items used in the manufacturing of meth was also stopped, resulting in the arrest of Katie M. Horsley, 30, of Ironton, according to the press release.
