Theft Report Leads Police to Active Meth Lab

Meth BustA Marshall County Sheriff’s Deputy investigating the theft of copper wire from an Argos business Thursday evening reportedly found an active meth lab in a motel room. An employee of Quality Setters Inc. in Argos called the sheriff’s department to report seeing employee Thomas Howell taking quite a bit of copper wire from several buildings on the property. Howell was reportedly staying in room 126 of the Red Rock Inn. When officers showed up there to investigate, they reportedly found Howell, Dawn Miller, Todd Kring and an active methamphetamine lab. All three were arrested on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine. Howell is also charged with theft and intimidation stemming from the earlier theft at Quality Setters.
