By Harrison Moss, Sheriff of Adair County, KY

Over the past week, the Adair County Sheriff's Office has found 4expired meth labs which have been left on the side of Adair County'sroadways.

These labs were properly disposed of by the Kentucky StatePolice's meth disposal personnel.



I would like to make the citizensof Adair County aware of the potential threat that these labscreate.

The gases which could be inside of the container can be veryharmful if they are inhaled, and the liquid that can be present isvery acidic and can cause burns to your skin.

The containers that are commonly used are 20 oz plastic soda bottles. In the accompanying photo, you can see a vent tube with a white substance inside of it coming out of the top of the plastic bottle and a white substance inside thebottle as well.

If there is a liquid inside, do not go near it. Thisis the most common lab that is found on the roadways. Please becareful as you venture out this spring.

If you see what you thinkmay be a meth lab, DO NOT TOUCH IT and immediately call the localLaw Enforcement. Thank You- - Harrison Moss, SAC

Methamphetamine generator found S. of Glens Fork, KY



2011-03-18 - S. HWY 55 RD, Glens Fork, KY - Photo by Deputy Sheriff BJ Bray.
This meth "generator," part of an expired methamphetamine lab was one of two discovered on the side of S. Hwy 55 RD today by Adair County Solid Waste Coordinator A.L. Sinclair; two others were discovered littering Adair County roadways this week. Mr. Sinclair checks the roadways ahead of other members of the clean crews to watch for these seemingly innocent items of trash and, when found, calls the Sheriff's office to arrange for safe disposal. Citizens are warned not to touch, shake, and disturb the devices in any way, but to call authorities to handle pickup and disposal.
