Two arrested for suspected meth lab in Houghton home

HOUGHTON — Two people were arrested after the discovery of a possible methamphetamine lab at a Houghton residence.

On Thursday, detectives from the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team (UPSET) recovered components and equipment used in meth manufacture after executing a search warrant on Spruce Lane, UPSET said in a release.

Detectives had executed a search warrant at the home after developing information the residents were manufacturing meth on the site.

Numerous components were recovered at the site, including a one-pot meth lab, UPSET said. Detectives removed eight five-gallon buckets of hazardous waste from the house.

A 40-year-old man and 42-year-old woman were arrested on charges of delivery-manufacture of methamphetamine, a 20-year felony. Their names were being withheld pending arraignment in 97th District Court.

UPSET was assisted by the Houghton Police Department, Michigan Technological University Public Safety and Houghton Fire Department.

Starting at $3.50/week.
