The war on drugs continues in Upshur County as Sheriff's Deputies make another meth lab bust Sunday night.

Based on information, Officers received and a follow-up, they were able to make the arrests.

During a traffic stop Sunday night, Deputies arrested 20 year old Alicia Jordan for operating a clandestine drug lab.

Deputies found items used to make methamphetamine like anhydrous ammonia along with several weapons in the vehicle.

Officials say this gas is common in the area because it's found in mines, but say it's extremely dangerous if you don't know how to use it.

Deputies had to take extra precautions when removing it from the vehicle and had to call a Hazmat team from Parkersburg to remove the hazardous material.

A search warrant was also obtained for a local motel. There they found 32 year old Joseph Glen.

He was arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.

Deputies say more arrests could be pending.
