Why Tennessee continues to have a methlab problem
June 24, 2008
The reason why Tennessee continues to have a meth lab problem appears to be pointing to the court system, at least in in the case of a recent drug busts in Spring City, TN. The court system basically gave a slap on the wrists to a person that police knew as a travelling meth lab instructor. Is it any wonder why police and DEA agents can’t stop the methlab problem from growing in TN? Bravo to the law enforcement team for making this community safer. Thumbs down to the legal system for not getting a meth lab instructor off the streets.
When police received a tip that they’d find stolen property in a garage located at Pochantas Avenue in Spring City, TN, they found 29 year old, William Joseph Eaton, painting a motorcycle. As they approached him to Read more

Illinois man is given life sentence on meth charges
May 3, 2008
February 29, 2008, was a bad day for 38 year old Monte Gearhart of Pomona Illinois. It was the day that a jury decided that he should spend the rest of his life in prison and pay a $500 for drug crimes that put his own young daughter’s life at risk.
Gearhart, who hasn’t even reached his 40th birthday yet, undoubtedly will spend everyday for the rest of his life regretting that he ever layed eyes on methamphetamine. Every year on his daughter’s birthday, he will feel sad that he will never be able to share another birthday celebration with her. He will never attend the most important events in his daughter’s life; her graduation from high school and/or college, her marriage, or the birth of her children. I am sure that Gearhart never thought it would come to this. They never do, especially when they’re high on meth. It is sad for him, but it is sadder still that his daughter has lost her father because he accepted a deal with the devil, otherwise known as methamphetamine.
The DEA report on Gearhart’s trial and sentencing:
At GEARHART’s October 2007 jury trial, the evidence established that, between at least February 2002, and September 19, 2006, GEARHART and others were manufacturing methamphetamine in Union and Read more
Methlabs in America
Not a single thing meth is made from is illegal. Ingredients needed to make methamphetamine can be bought in stores in every neighborhood in America. Profits made by selling the drug are at an all-time high, which only adds to the problem.
