Meth Lab Found By Child's Bed

Five people are in the Creek County jail in connection with the purchase of pseudoephedrine.

Creek County Sheriff's Office investigator Michael O'Keefe says deputies with help from Sapulpa Police, arrested the five Tuesday at a home in the 12000 block of West Shaw Drive.

The five are identified as Joseph Mathews, Eddie Smith, Aaron Welch, Linda Whinery and Robert Kirby.

O'Keefe says a search of the home turned up a fully operational clandestine methamphetamine lab inside a child's bedroom.

The investigation began after Sapulpa Police witnessed several of the suspects repeatedly purchase a quantity of cold medicine containing pseudoephedrine from a Sapulpa business.
