The West Virginia State Police busted up an alleged meth lab Tuesday night on Neace Road in Charleston. The bust happened around 5:30 p.m. Troopers say they acted on confidential information that a meth lab was operational at the home of Bobby and Katrina Smith.

Troopers say they found iodine, a gas chamber, several match books, heat sources, scales and other items used in the production of meth. Several pets found at the home went to the Kanawha Charleston Humane Association.

The State Police arrested Bobby Smith, Katrina Smith, Brian Smith and Ashly Campbell. They are all charged with operating a clandestine meth lab and conspiracy to operate a meth lab.

Uh - if all the ingredients for a meth lab are in a location, I do believe everyone is considered involved even if it be by being an innocent bystander. Acutally if you witness a law being broken, see someone hit by a car and don't stop to help or notify someone who can help, etc. - YOU are violating a law. Wanton Endangerment, etc. So I know a lot of families who love each other to death AND ARE ALL FREELOADERS, LIVE OFF THE SYSTEM, DO DRUGS, SELL DRUGS, STEAL AND LIE and all stick up for each other. So if one is not guilty - well they are in it for the ride.

I would just like to comment that there are several innocent victims caught up in all of this. As a matter of fact, a couple of innocent folks went to jail who had no business being sent there. The media has sensationalized much of this and many people are making decisions without knowing the entire story. Whether via poor choices,just being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or simply a victim due to personal association as a friend or family member, MANY people are affected by this story. I just wish the media would have all of their facts straight and share those facts, rather than just trying to sell a paper or get the most viewers. As for the comments coming from "anyone worth anything", let's please not name call and make assumptions; there's enough of that going around already. Life is about choices & everyone is responsible for their own. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone touched by this.
