“During our investigation, as police were searching the residence for other victims, we found all the makings of meth and then an actual meth lab,” Boudreaux said.

Officials from a local HAZMAT unit and the DEA are on scene to dismantle the components of the lab.

Due to a partial federal government shutdown no federal monies were immediately available to absorb the cost of the disposal, Boudreaux says and therefore the department will have to pay for a proper disposal of the hazardous chemicals.

No arrest have been made, Boudreaux said.

“A person of interest is being sought.” he said.
