An officer from the Knox City Police Department was called to a meth lab dump site behind the Pentecostal Church on Wednesday.
Police arrived at the church at 509 S. Roosevelt Road in Knox were they met with a surveyor from Stephenson Land Surveying. The lab was not on the church grounds, but the surveyor said that he found a large tarp on the ground in the woods behind the church and saw footprints that led up to the tarp. The man thought a person was underneath the tarp and called out but received no answer. The surveyor then lifted up the tarp and saw items that are used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. He told police that another lab was found about 80 feet away under another tarp.
Crews were called in to take the evidence. The case remains under investigation with the Knox City Police Department.
