MARINETTE, WI (WTAQ) – Authorities have arrested three people in connection with a suspected meth lab at a motel in Marinette.
Marinette local, county and state investigators are pouring through evidence gathered from the Marinette Inn, 1450 Marinette Avenue, on Tuesday.
Also on scene assisting were hazmat crews and paramedics.
No word yet on the identities of those arrested or charges filed.
Marinette Police say it began Monday night as part of an ongoing investigation. They say a tip led to a traffic stop, which then led officers to the motel.
Authorities say the production method likely used is what’s called a ‘one pot’ method: a highly mobile, quick, but highly dangerous way to produce the illegal drug.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Justice, the overwhelming majority of meth labs recovered in the state over the past two years have been the one pot method.
The North East Tri-County Drug Enforcement group is made up of members from Marinette and Menominee City and County law enforcement, as well as state criminal investigators.
