Muncie – Yesterday members of the Pendleton District Meth Suppression Squad started an investigation that led to a Muncie home about 3 p.m. yesterday. Troopers searched the home at 1103 W. 17th St. and found Methamphetamine, and the chemicals used in the manufacture of Methamphetamine, and arrested four Muncie men in the home for felony charges.

Arrested was Robert R. Schuyler, age 43 of that address, for Conspiracy to Manufacture Methamphetamine, Class “B” Felony, Possession of Methamphetamine, Class “C” Felony, Possession of Syringes and Maintaining a Common Nuisance, both Class “D” Felonies and Possession of Paraphernalia, Class "A" Misdemeanor.

Also arrested was Jason Taylor, age 30 of Muncie, for Possession of Methamphetamine Class “C” Felony, Possession of a Controlled Substance, Class “D” Felony, Visiting a Common Nuisance, Class “D” Felony and Possession of Paraphernalia, Class “A” Misdemeanor.

Two other men were arrested; Michael Vincent, age 18, and Matthew Stockton, age 21, both of Muncie. Both were charged with Visiting a Common Nuisance, Class “D” Felony. All four men were lodged in the Delaware County Jail.

Signs to look for Meth manufacturing are a strong ammonia smell, or solvent smell like an auto body shop. Look for air line type rubber tubing, ether or camp fuel cans, plastic bottles, Pseudoephedrine packages, lithium battery casings, and propane tanks with a blue or green discoloration around the valve. The chemicals are highly explosive and fumes are toxic to breath and will damage internal organs.

Often times Meth Labs are found as a result of an anonymous tip from a neighbor or friend. Anyone with information about illegal drug use may call the Pendleton Post at 1-800-527-4752, or the Indiana State Police Drug Tip Line at 1-800-453-4756. Tips can be made and kept anonymous.
