Three arrested in Sullivan meth lab bust

By J.H. OSBORNE

KINGSPORT - An apartment complex just outside the Model City was evacuated Saturday after Sullivan County sheriff's officers discovered a methamphetamine "lab" in one of the apartments. Three people were jailed without bond as a result. Officers were dispatched to Apartment #2 at Mountain View Apartments on Memorial Boulevard at about 9 a.m., SCSO Lt. Joey Strickler said.

When an initial investigation indicated the possibility of a methamphetamine manufacturing lab, other law enforcement and emergency response agencies were called in, Strickler said. Cooperating in the investigation were the SCSO, the Kingsport Police Department, the Kingsport Fire Department, Sullivan County EMS, Warriors Path Volunteer Fire Department and the American Red Cross, according to a statement issued by the sheriff's office.

A methamphetamine lab was discovered and the apartment complex was evacuated as the scene was processed and hazardous materials were removed, Strickler said.

It was the third methamphetamine lab discovered by the sheriff's office in Sullivan County this year, Strickler said.

All were being held without bond Saturday, Strickler said, with arraignments scheduled Monday morning in Kingsport General Sessions Court.

Anthony B. Delp and Angela Delp were also arrested on charges related to the investigation of methamphetamine manufacturing at another location earlier this year, Strickler said.
