DENVER — One person has been arrested on drug charges after police executed a search warrant at a home Tuesday night and found a meth lab inside.
Denver police said officers executed the search warrant around 6 p.m at 965 Vrain St. in the Villa Park neighborhood after their investigation revealed that meth was being sold from the home. The house is directly across the street from Cowell Elementary School.
After entering the home, they discovered materials used for manufacturing meth. As a result, they evacuated the home and called in the fire department and a hazardous materials team to make sure the area was safe.
Once the all-clear was given, they went back inside to complete their investigation. They found at least an ounce of meth, but more substances were being tested, according to police.
Corey Richter, 42, was arrested for possession and manufacturing and distribution of meth. A second person was arrested on an outstanding traffic warrant from Broomfield.
A total of four people were inside the home, and police said more arrests are possible as the investigation continues.
