Lincoln Sheriff’s Deputies Make Largest Meth Bust in Department History


Sheriff's Deputies say a monster meth bust involved an entire trailer park in West Hamlin.

Deputies say they made the biggest bust in department history when someone made a call to their anonymous Tip Line.

A hazardous dump of drug waste was discovered behind Gores Trailer Park. Deputies say they found two active meth labs, a trail of needles, and seven used shake-and-bake pots.

"Empty bottles, tubes, coffee filters...we found meth-making materials completely as far as you could see," Chief Deputy J.J. Napier said.

Alan Strother was arrested in connection with the bust. Deputies say he confessed to manufacturing meth.

But the sheer amount of drug waste shows he didn't act alone.

Deputies spent more than five hours cleaning up the danger with workers from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

Heaps of trash remain, now-devoid of drugs but still polluting the park.

Deputies say all it takes is just one tip for them to step in.
