Missouri Sheriff warns citizens not to rely on state statistics
July 14, 2008
In February 2008, 2 meth labs were discovered in Boone County, Missouri. One lab was found in an apartment located at 405 N. Garth Ave., and another active lab was found in the 4000 block of Griffits Lane, northwest of Columbia. Yet, both labs were omitted from Missouri’s yearly report about meth lab seizures.
Four counties in Missouri reported no meth labs. After his county’s meth lab busts were omitted from the state’s reports, Major Tom Reddin, Boon County Sheriff, recommended that citizens not rely on what statistics say. Last year, there were nearly 1,300 meth labs seized across the state, making Missouri the “hot spot” for meth manufacturers in the U.S.
