MUSKOGEE, Oklahoma -- Eleven Muskogee County residents are in jail after a sheriff's deputy serving a warrant Tuesday evening smelled a meth lab operation at a travel trailer near Porum.

Muskogee County Sheriff's deputy Raelea Spears says she was attempting to serve a warrant on Nicholas Wright, 29, when they found 10 other people including Wright's father and mother standing outside the trailer.

Spears says a fellow deputy smelled a strong odor of a meth lab operation.  She says that is when they called in the county's drug task force to help. 

A search of the travel trailer and surrounding property turned up meth manufacturing ingredients, a loaded shotgun along with some other items believed to be stolen in some Muskogee County burglaries.

Deputies arrested the following people:

• Nicholas Wright, 29
• Charles Wright, 47
• Sabrina Wright, 36
• Nathan Wright, 18
• Daniel Dismukes, 27
• Robert Sangster, 45
• Jennifer Girty, 27
• Ronald Rucker, 21
• Hustle Murray, 42
• Casey Smith, 23
• Virginia Reece, 43

They were arrested on complaints of endeavoring to manufacture methamphetamine.

Spears says an investigation continues and more charges are expected in connection with the burglaries.
