SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio - Summit County sheriff’s deputies located mobile meth labs Tuesday and Wednesday.
At about 11 p.m. on Tuesday, deputies found a bottle with smoke coming out of it at the scene of fallen power lines near Lakeside Elementary School in Coventry Township. After investigating, it was identified as a “one-pot” meth lab. Authorities evacuated the area and personnel responded to the scene.
Wednesday night at about 5 o’clock, deputies stopped a vehicle for reckless driving on South Main Street in Akron. During the stop, deputies said they saw a 20-ounce soda bottle that looked like a meth lab.
Jeffrey Sumey, 30, and Jack Zager, 26, both of Akron, admitted to producing meth in the vehicle, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Sumey and Zager were arrested for illegal manufacture of drugs and illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs.
Both men were taken to Summit County Jail.
