LANCASTER - Two residents from Red Oak were arrested and charged with
manufacturing a controlled substance Sunday, Dec. 9.
Ronald Cody, 48, and Vanessa Bean, 39, were arrested at about 7 p.m. at the
Royal Inn Motel, located at 1750 N. Beckley Rd.
According to Lancaster police, the department received a tip from a Lancaster
resident from a room at the motel.
Both Lancaster police and agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration's
Clandestine Lab Unit entered a second-floor room.
According to reports, officers found lab equipment and chemicals that were used
to make the illegal drugs.
The discovery of the equipment led officials to a second room, where they found
$3,000 worth of amphetamine, two pistols, and computers used to make fake
driver's licenses and insurance cards.
Police said other charges could be filed against the two suspects.
