This house reportedly a meth lab in Burning Springs
Authorities have raided three Wirt County locations, with one location
described by State Police as a working methamphetamine lab, a residence
reportedly occupied by Richard Lawson, 48.
The house was along the Little Kanawha River (Burning Springs Road) near
the former Burning Springs Store and Hotel.
State Police, the Wirt County Sheriff and the Parkersburg Narcotics Task
Force also arrested Clifton Phillips, 20, of Elizabeth and Donald Ferrell, 30, of
Walker (Route 47). All are being held on drug charges at North Central
Regional Jail on $30,000 bond.
Lawson was arrested by the task force while he was buying supplies for his
lab, according to authorities.
Officials said clean-up operations followed the raids, although two of the
labs were not in full operation.
