Ohio among tops for seized meth labs

0

CLEVELAND (AP) — A new report ranks Ohio among the top states for seized methamphetamine labs last year.

Ohio
ranked fourth in the country in 2013 as authorities uncovered 1,010
labs, chemicals and glassware used in the drug’s cooking process.
Indiana topped the national last year, followed by Tennessee and
Missouri.
The report was done by the Missouri Highway Patrol,
based on numbers from the National Clandestine Laboratory Seizure
System, a database run by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/OddXZl ) reported the results
Wednesday. Ohio moved up from seventh in the rankings in 2012.
The
Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation tracks meth
lab seizures by federal fiscal year. The state’s police officers report
voluntarily, so there are likely more than the statistics reflect.
