Pair charged after meth lab found in vehicle

Two Crouse residents were arrested on drug charges after Lincoln County sheriff’s deputies said they found a meth lab in a vehicle Sunday night.

Patrol deputies responded to the 4500 block of Crouse Road, after a homeowner reported finding drug paraphernalia. In a burn pile behind the house, deputies found needles, tubing and other items used to make methamphetamine.

Deputies secured the scene and went to a home in the 3500 block of Oakdale Lane in Crouse, after learning one of the suspects might be there.

Deputies came across a person in a small truck outside the home, searched the truck and found what appeared to be a one-pot meth lab, which was later verified as a lab by other investigators.

Bobby Ray Martin, 31, was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and was jailed without bond pending a court appearance.

Linda Kay McMahan, 64, was charged with conspiring to manufacture methamphetamine. She was jailed on a $20,000 bail.
