Formal charges were filed Thursday against two people arrested in a meth lab investigation.

Thirty-four-year-old Manuel Ortiz is charged with manufacturing drugs and child endangerment.

Police say an officer looked into the window of a house on Burkhardt Avenue early Monday morning and saw Ortiz cooking methamphetamine.
