"Within this house was a little partitioned-off area that consequently had fans set up to blow the fumes, etcetera, outside that way it wouldn't be such a risk for the individuals inside. Consequently that helped us to obtain the search warrant and lead to the arrest," said Sheriff Gissy.
20-year-old Shane Michael Jeffries admitted to operating the labs there on more than one occasion.
Sheriff Gissy said the investigation continues and more charges are pending.
