A husband and wife are behind bars after Drug Task Force agents received a tip that there was methamphetamine being produced at an Onycha residence.

 

DTF Agent Greg Jackson said that agents made contact with Melissa Cook, 34, and after speaking with her, agents searched the home and located a shake and bake methamphetamine lab.

“A-gents found numerous items used in the manufacturing process,” he said. “They also found finished product methamphetamine and more than 28 grams of methamphetamine oil.”

Jackson said after further investigation, it was revealed that Cook’s husband, Michael, 37, was involved in manufacturing methamphetamine at the residence as well.

 

The pair was arrested and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine first degree, drug trafficking and felony possession of drug paraphernalia.

Both subjects are being held in the Covington County Jail on $550,000 bonds.
