CHUNCHULA, Alabama -- Mobile County deputies are searching for a second suspect after the discovery of a working meth lab in the Chunchula Post Office led to the arrest of a 15-year-old boy.

Deputies say the boy was one of two people making and trafficking meth from the post office.

An Alabama Constable was checking his mail at the post office at 11105 Roberts Road when he noticed two people, including the 15-year-old, acting suspiciously. He also noticed "a strong odor" coming from the area they were standing in, according to Lori Myles, public information officer for the Mobile County Sheriff's Office.

The Constable detained the 15-year-old boy at the scene, but his accomplice fled before deputies arrived, Myles said.

The Mobile County Sheriff's Narcotic Unit responded to the scene, where deputies said they found a working meth lab inside the post office.

The 15-year-old suspect was taken to Strickland Youth Center on charges of manufacturing and trafficking a controlled substance. Authorities are still searching for his accomplice.

Anyone with information on the suspect or the meth lab can call MCSO at 251-574-8633.
