Bobby A. Davis, 53, of Caswell Lakes, alleged to be responsible for the lab, was arrested after investigators found the lab by carrying out a search warrant Wednesday. He faces numerous felony charges including production of methamphetamine and misconduct involving weapons, troopers said.
Four others were arrested throughout the week:
• Linda S. Howard, 35, of Palmer, was charged with two felony charges of purchasing more than the legal limit of pseudoephedrine, a nasal decongestant and stimulant also used in production of meth; and possession of a meth precursor.
Medicine containing pseudoephedrine must be purchased from behind the counter at pharmacies, and the pharmacy keeps a log of who made the purchase and how much, said trooper spokesman Megan Peters. There's a limit as to how much a person is allowed to purchase within 30 days.
• Louis W. Byard, 38, of Wasilla, was charged with a misdemeanor count of assault and felony charges of overpurchase of pseudoephedrine, possession of a meth precursor, and possession of meth.
• Kimberly D. Burden, of Wasilla, was arrested on the same drug related charges as Byard, but not assault.
• Naoming L. Bote, 29, of Willow, was charged with overpurchase of pseudoephedrine and possession of a meth precursor.
