AUGUSTA — The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency says methamphetamine labs discovered inside a home in Bangor and a vehicle in Lincoln bring to 73 the number of methamphetamine responses by the drug agency this year. There were 56 for all of 2015.

Bangor Police took 49-year-old Jeffrey Miller into custody at a home at 67 Deer Isle Road Wednesday and charged him with a meth lab discovered last month on Hammond Street. Found inside the Deer Isle apartment was a second methamphetamine lab, which required a response from the MDEA methamphetamine lab team Wednesday night. Drug agents then charged Miller with methamphetamine manufacturing, in addition to the Bangor PD charge. Miller is at the Penobscot jail.

Lincoln Police discovered a methamphetamine lab inside a car they stopped in the town yesterday. 29-year-old Jared Lovett of Lincoln was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine. Lovett was taken to the Penobscot County Jail. Found in his car were three bottles with the ingredients to make the drug. The drug agency's methamphetamine team also responded to that scene.
