Three arrested in meth lab bust in Pine River Township Monday

Another meth bust in Pine River Township Monday night resulted in the arrests of three Alma people. Carl Wayne Reed, 52, and Richard Dean Donley, 54, were each charged with maintaining a methamphetamine lab and, with possession of meth, said Gratiot County Prosecutor Keith Kushion. Pamela Dee Ferguson, 34, also of Alma, was charged with maintaining a meth lab only, he said. She had no methamphetamine on her person. Kushion said that members of the Mid Michigan Area Group Narcotics Enforcement Team (MAGNET) received a tip that meth was being manufactured in a camper on West Madison Road. Police put the property under surveillance and when a vehicle pulled away from the camper, police stopped the car and found methamphetamine among the occupants. A search warrant was then issued and police found a meth lab in the camper, Kushion said. No one was living in the camper at the time, but Kushion said it is alleged that Reed and Donley used the camper to cook the meth.
