Ludlow meth lab uncovered
LUDLOW — For the second time in less than eight months, an Aroostook County couple have been arrested on methamphetamine charges. The arrests came after MDEA agents found the makings of a meth lab inside a remote cabin in Ludlow, just outside Houlton, Tuesday afternoon while conducting a bail check as a result of last year's charges. The young man and woman, along with the woman's mother, now face a new set of meth-related charges.
The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency's meth lab response team is at the cabin today on Townline Road to gather evidence and dispose of the dangerous and explosive chemicals. Aroostook County Deputies and drug agents Tuesday rearrested 31-year-old James Anthony, 26-year-old Kayla Nason, along with Nason's mother, 48-year-old Tara Walton. The trio was arrested at the cabin and charged with trafficking in meth and were taken to the Aroostook County Jail. Anthony and Walton also were charged with violating their bail conditions.
Last June, Anthony and Nason were arrested after deputies found the two were cooking meth inside their car on the Ludlow Road in Ludlow. Nason at the time was treated and released for chemical burns as a result to her exposure to the methamphetamine.
This is the 12th meth-related incident in Maine this year.
