An Adamsville man is charged with unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine after authorities raided his home over the weekend.
Several complaints from neighbors led Jefferson County Sheriff's vice and narcotics deputies to a home in the 3000 block of Higgins Road.
When deputies arrived there, they found methamphetamine was being actively cooked, said sheriff's spokesman Lt. Randy Christian.
Evidence found by investigators showed the suspect had the potential to cook up to several pounds of the drug, Christian said.
Richard Neil Webb, 39, remains jailed with bond set at $15,000. Christian said Webb admitted to cook the methamphetamine in a back shed.
Christian said Webb was using the One-Pot method, also known as shake n' bake, to cook the methamphetamine.
Using the one-pot method means that meth cooks can make meth in one sealed container which is generally flipped upside-down to cause the reaction needed to turn several toxic ingredients into meth. Investigators say its the newest, and more dangerous way to cook meth because the chemical reaction going on inside the container causes an extremely high amount of pressure to build up within the container after being shaken and can cause a large explosion.
