Authorities raid meth lab in Harrison Twp.
HARRISON TWP., Montgomery County - Three people were arrested Tuesday, Dec. 30, after sheriff’s deputies raided what they are calling “one of the most elaborate meth labs” they’ve seen.
Deputies entered the house at 2241 Coronette Ave. just after noon and found a meth lab, surveillance equipment and thousands of dollars inside, Sheriff Phil Plummer said.
“It’s one of the largest operations we’ve seen here in some time,” Plummer said. “We believe they were also selling it out of the place.”
Deputies are still searching the house as of 1 p.m. The names of those arrested were not yet available, Plummer said.

Armed teen tells police he found marijuana at store
DAYTON - An 18-year-old man was arrested Monday, Dec. 29, after police found him sitting on a handgun and marijuana that he said he found at a local Walgreens.
Officer Ryan T. Halburnt was on routine patrol at about 10 p.m. near the Walgreens pharmacy at 2710 Salem Ave. when he noticed Rashied J. Gabriel Jr. and three other juveniles inside a silver Kia parked in the rear of the lot, the report stated.
The teens did not get out of the car so Halburnt drove by. As he approached, the car’s driver, 17, got out and started to reach into his pocket, the report stated.
Halburnt said he then noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from the car, the report stated. The juvenile driver kept reaching in his pants pocket, so officers patted him down and found a loaded revolver, the report stated.
Inside the car, officers found Gabriel sitting on a loaded handgun and a “fist-size” amount of marijuana in a baggie at his feet, the report stated. They also found ecstasy pills in his pocket.
Gabriel told officers he found that marijuana in the parking lot and thought “it was his lucky day,” the report stated.
Gabriel and the juvenile told officers they carry the guns for protection, the report stated. He faces felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon and drug possession, according to a police report.
The other two juveniles in the car, ages 16 and 17, were not charged with a crime and released. The 17-year-old driver was transported to juvenile detention on weapon and drug possession charges, the report stated.
