Police also planned to serve some of 500 outstanding Madison County warrants. No further update was available. State police spent most of Saturday night and early Sunday morning cleaning up the remains of a meth lab found near the Pinnacle community in southwest Madison County. It can take as long as three hours to disassemble a meth lab because of flammable chemicals typically found there, police said. Police also seized 1 gram of meth and arrested two people on suspicion of possession of the drug in connection with the Pinnacle lab.
Police also suspect the pair of manufacturing the drug with an intent to distribute.
Sadler did not release the names of those arrested on Sunday. The operation included state police officers brought in from across the state, Game and Fish Commission officers, deputies from Washington, Carroll and Madison counties and Huntsville police. The Arkansas National Guard also sent troops. State police operated a sobriety checkpoint along Arkansas 23 until about midnight Saturday, making several arrests. Sadler could not say on Sunday how many arrests police made.
