Crystal meth grows on buried mop strings
Chief Investigator Ron Baggett of the Clarke County Sheriff's Department had been told about some suspicious activity in the woods along Round Hill Road in Thomasville. "We went out there and found where a big hole had been dug. We looked around some more and found where another hole had been dug, but it was filled in. We dug it up and there was the lab," Baggett explained. The lab consisted of a container with an aluminum pan in the bottom that held various chemicals. A lid placed on that had holes punctured in it and mop strings pushed through it. Another lid was placed on top, sealing the container. Crystals from the chemicals had formed on the strings. Rick Lee Harrell II, 36, was arrested and charged with attempt to commit a controlled substance-manufacturing methamphetamine. Baggett said Harrell told him he had been told the method would make crystal meth. Hazmat teams were brought to the area and spent about 10 hours cleaning the site.
Other officers involved in the investigation included Sheriff Bobby Moore, Deputy Steve Carlisle and Deputy Jim Mundie.
