The discovery of a methamphetamine lab in Schuyler County has resulted in a felony arrest.
Last Thursday, members of the New York State Police Troop E Violent Gang and Narcotics Enforcement Team (VGNET), with assistance from the State Police Uniform Force and the Contaminated Crime Scene Emergency Response Team West (CCSERT West), executed a search warrant at 2665 Church Road in the town of Reading.
The investigation resulted in the following items being seized as evidence:
- Approximately 1 ounce of crystal methamphetamine
- Approximately 3 ounces of suspected methamphetamine oil
- Approximately 2 gallons of methamphetamine oil
- Approximately 1/8 ounce of psilocybin mushrooms
- Approximately 300 pseudoephedrine pills
- Digital scales
- Packaging materials
- One antique pistol
- Laboratory equipment, solvents, and chemical reagents used in the illicit manufacture of methamphetamine (removed by CCSERT)
As a result of the search and subsequent investigation, 44-year-old Jeremy Wright, of Reading, was arrested and charged with the following:
- Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 2nd (A-II Felony)
- Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 3rd – Intent to Sell (B Felony)
- Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine 3rd Degree (D Felony)
Wright was processed at SP Dundee and then transported to Schuyler County Jail for CAP arraignment.
This is an ongoing investigation.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
