Agents with the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office Drug Enforcement Unit arrested five people Tuesday morning in connection with a suspected meth lab at a Supply home.
Alice Faye Curl, Destry Bryant Hall, Jesse Lee Mills, Kenneth Odell Smith and Matthew Alan Vitale have been charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and possessing or distributing a meth precursor, according to sheriff’s office spokeswoman Emily Flax.
Drug agents executed a search warrant at 4 a.m. Tuesday at a home on Oyster Lane in Supply, where detectives found “an active meth lab and multiple precursor chemicals used to manufacture meth at the residence,” Flax said.
According to arrest warrants, the suspects are charged with possessing lithium and pseudoephedrine, which are both precursor chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamine.
The N.C. State Bureau of Investigation’s clandestine laboratory team and the Tri-Beach Fire Department assisted in the investigation and dismantling of the laboratory, which was set up in a shed on the property.
Curl, 45, of Finch Drive in Leland; Hall, 45, of Harper Lake Road in Boiling Springs Lakes; Mills, 25, of Colonial Landing in Bolivia; Smith, 26, of Coastal Drive in Supply; and Vitale, 27, of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, were booked at the Brunswick County jail under $1 million secured bonds.
