UPDATE 3/20/13 @ 6:15 p.m.
KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- West Virginia State Police went to investigate a meth lab and ended up busting two meth labs.

It happened Wednesday along Hampshire Drive in Jefferson.

Kelcil Carpenter, 39, woke up when troopers showed up at his house. Inside, they found meth and the materials to make it.

We asked Carpenter if he had ever made meth.

“Nope. Never a day in my life. Swear to that; never a day in my life. I don't even know how to make it,” Carpenter said.

While Carpenter sits in jail, his home has been boarded up and condemned.

It’s the same story for another house just down the road.

Troopers also found a meth lab inside it; along with Larry Jarrett, 39, who claims he doesn't even live there.

“I wasn't making meth in there,” Jarrett said.

When asked why he was being arrested, Jarrett replied, “Wrong place, wrong time, I guess.”

“It's just a shame what drugs do to these folks,” Trooper First Class R.A. Phillips said.

Neighbors like Chuck Knight have been waiting on this day for years, and now they say they can breathe easier.

“I'm tickled plum to death they're taking care of some of this stuff around here,” Knight said. “The meth problem down here; they've been a nuisance and a serious health hazard for two or three years now.”

Carpenter and Jarrett remain in the South Central Regional Jail.

West Virginia State Police tell WSAZ.com they have taken Kelcil Carpenter and Larry Jarrett into custody.

The meth labs were found at two different locations along Hampshire Drive, Wednesday morning.

Troopers tell WSAZ.com they had a search warrant for a home and information they found there led them to another house down the street.

Both homes are in the process of being condemned.
