Meth Cave Bust in Kalamazoo

KALAMAZOO - It was a first. Acting on a tip, Kalamazoo Valley Enforcement Team officers raided a man made cave built into a hillside in a wooded area off Charles Street in Kalamazoo.

Officers carefully entered the 10-by-15-foot dugout, watching for booby traps. It had a makeshift roof made from lumber, insulation and tarps, and was littered with the remains of spent meth labs. They also found a chair, a mattress and a gas heater.

Captain Joseph Taylor says it was one of the biggest meth lab operations they had seen, and they have seen some big ones.

"We had one over in comstock, a guy in a garage had 50 or 70 [bottles]. Inside of big bags he had returnable bottles including the two-liter bottles that he was making meth in - he was taking them to the stores to get the dimes back," Taylor said.

KVET is looking for 44-year-old Ronald Craig Jenkins, who was already a wanted for a pair of meth labs discovered last April.

That meth shit is fucking EVERYWHERE. But it's a good thing they are wasting billions chasing down cocaine, I never hear of around these parts, and pot.

:disgust

There is alot of it around.

true dat chief

if you read the amount of money allocated for "marijuana eradication" compared to "missing children" and other crimes, youd be surprised.

Most police stations have a budget for marijuana eradication that far exceeds anything else they spend on.

Was Osama Bin Tweekin in there?
It's probably being cooked within a 1 mile radius of your house by people like that guy that named his kid Hitler :2 cents:

It's big business.

There was a special on HBO, Showtime, or one of those I saw a couple of weeks back. It talked about the 'drug war' and how these government agencies sole purpose is to get more money and power. So they can keep fighting these phatom social problems when the money could be better spent elsewhere.

It was pretty detailed, and went over both the 'big business' of drug enforcement, but also the CIA's roll in it as well.

The shit makes you fucking sick.

and I wont even begin to discuss the actual fact that most "marijuana eradication" programs cull weed that wont ever be sold because its "HEMP" and not even female plants that cause a high, THC is too low of levels in male plants...

In previous years, upwards of 98 percent of all the pot seized by law enforcement was categorized as ‘ditchweed’ — a term the DEA uses to define “wild, scattered marijuana plants [with] no evidence of planting, fertilizing, or tending.”

100s of millions of $$$ for "ditchweed"

Making friends with your insightful comments as usual.


:2 cents:

More Meth is being imported from South America and Mexico than being manufactured in California. Because California has been aggressive about shutting down domestic production and have put a dent on it. But it hasn't stopped the actual demand for the product. Ironically, this strategy has actually increased the amounts available and because the 'professionals' have taken over the industry. The product is purer and more dangerous. this is due to the fact that they are now manu because the source materials are actual chemicals and the distribution chain is a a much more organized and violent.

it's hard to crack a joke with people that have no sense of humor I guess.
I should of just said.
"The shits everywhere, you don't have to look in a cave" :2 cents:
my bad

Fair enough sire.

Thats pretty crazy stuff. That meth stuff does not play!

Nice stuff!

the strippers are all into it.

first they snort it, then they smoke it, then they shoot it, then they die... :2 cents:

Because its fucking easy and cheap to make it. :(

Meth is everywhere around here as well.

meth rules, fuck pot

a chair a stove and a mattress in a bedroom sized room is the biggest meth "lab" they have busted ? sounds to me like some tweakers making basement meth. They prob do it all themselves.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I heard somewhere there's a lot more meth and labs on the western side of Michigan. Especially around Kalamazoo.

interesting insight on the issue, tranza, I am pondering your statement a little longer to properly digest your thoughts, as I know there is something deeply profound that you are saying, I just can't quite grasp it yet I guess :2 cents:

ppp

(paid per post) ;)

Loving it. Palin's meth connection (from this morn's Gawker):

Bristol Palin's Baby Daddy's Mom Arrested on Drug Charges
By Hamilton Nolan, 10:39 AM on Fri Dec 19 2008

Wasilla, Alaska The mom of Levi Johnston—first daughter candidate Bristol Palin's uncomfortable jock boyfriend—has been arrested on drug charges. Law and order Republicans now support Obama! Because this sounds vaguely like a meth lab:

"Troopers served the warrant at Johnston's home at the 'conclusion of an undercover narcotics investigation,' said a statement issued Thursday by the troopers as part of the normal daily summary of activity around the state.

Troopers charged Johnston with second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance — generally manufacturing or delivering drugs — as well as fourth-degree misconduct involving controlled substances, or possession."

Yes, meth cooking would be a fair bet. Though the cops haven't said yet. Overall this is sad and if fool ass McCain hadn't picked fool ass Sarah Palin in the first place then this lady could at least be arrested in peace.

Bristol Palin's baby is due on Saturday.
