Two Boone County men were arrested after deputies discovered two separate meth labs. Children were living in one of the residences.
Christopher Tulley, 36, of Camp Creek was arrested and charged with operating a clandestine laboratory and conspiracy. Brian Miller, 35, of Camp Creek was arrested and charged with attempting to operate a clandestine laboratory, conspiracy and three counts of child neglect creating a substantial risk of injury. Miller had his three children inside the home where the meth lab was discovered, deputies said.
Deputies responded to two homes along Camp Creek Road in Boone County Tuesday evening, after they received tips about meth making, Chief Deputy Chad Barker with the Boone County Sheriff's Office said.
Sheriff Randall White said the arrests were made possible from information gathered from concerned citizens in the community. "We will not tolerate people cooking or dealing drugs in our county," White said. "However, a lot of times it is not possible to complete these investigations without help from the public."
Troopers with the Madison detachment of the West Virginia State Police also assisted in the investigation.
The two men were taken to the South Western Regional Jail.
