Another Meth Lab Uncovered In Maine

(Washington, Maine)- Two people are facing charges of manufacturing methamphetamine after their arrests Tuesday in the town of Washington.

Maine State Police arrested 25 year old Dustin Carpenter and 27 year old Gina Glidden after a two-month investigation of meth manufacturing by the pair, who had been purchasing items essential to the manufacturing process.

Officials say the two were living in a basement apartment at the Crystal Lake Road  home of Glidden's grandmother.

Carpenter is charged with Aggravated Trafficking in Methamphetamine due to a prior conviction on a similar charge in Alabama.

Glidden was also charged with Violation of Conditional Release, because she was on bail on a heroin possession charge.

This is the 21st meth lab related incident in Maine this year.
