HARRISON COUNTY — A man held on $300,000 in bonds and his girlfriend are accused of manufacturing meth at a mobile-home park in Long Beach, said Harrison County Sheriff Melvin Brisolara.
Donald Wayne Ackers, 40, and Karen Roberts Williams, 33, were found with a meth lab, precursor chemicals and hazardous meth waste in their mobile home, Brisolara said.
Investigators also found meth and methadone, the sheriff said. Methadone is a narcotic pain reliever often prescribed to help detoxify heroin addicts.
The couple were taken into custody Friday after a raid at their residence in the 20300 block of 28th Street.
Ackers and Williams are each charged with manufacturing meth; Williams has additional drug-possession charges.
Both also were arrested on outstanding warrants. Ackers was wanted on two counts each of sale and transfer of a controlled substance. Williams was wanted on a sales charge.
Justice Court Judge Melvin Ray set their bonds, giving Williams a $30,000 bond.
Brisolara said Ackers has two prior felony convictions and can be prosecuted as a habitual offender, which could mean a prison term without eligibility for early release.
Both remain in custody at the Harrison County jail.
