Somerset —
Two Pulaski residents were arrested yesterday as a result of their involvement in a methamphetamine lab in the basement of an East Oak Street home.
Somerset police officers were asked to investigate possible drug activity at the home Saturday night. Detectives Chris Gates and Billy Bolin, who had been working in the downtown area patrolling for the Somernites Cruise event, arrived at the home and noticed a strong chemical odor coming from the basement.
Downstairs, Gates and Bolin found Lacy Tompkins, 25, of Nancy, and William Shadoan, 36, of Somerset, in the basement, shaking bottles which were being used in the meth manufacturing process.
Shadoan had to be treated for chemical exposure. He was seen by the Somerset-Pulaski County EMS and later admitted to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital.
Tompkins and Shadoan were arrested yesterday on Pulaski District Court warrants charging them both with manufacturing methamphetamine, a class B felony. Officers were assisted in the arrest by Pulaski County Constable Mike Wallace.
The two were lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center on $25,000 cash or property bonds.
The Somerset Fire Department neutralized and cleaned up the chemicals at the home.
An investigation is continuing by the Somerset Police Department.
