Meth Lab Located, Owner Arrested

Baton Rouge – Louisiana State Troopers working in the Baton Rouge Narcotics Unit arrested a Prairieville man yesterday following a narcotics investigation into his activities at his Baton Rouge place of business, TNT Tint. Troopers’ investigation revealed that John Thomas (W/M, age 42) of Prairieville was operating a methamphetamine-manufacturing lab at TNT Tint in Baton Rouge. Troopers approached the business, contacted Thomas, and learned that he was in the process of manufacturing methamphetamine. Troopers secured the scene and certified personnel from the Drug Enforcement Administration processed the lab. Troopers arrested Thomas and booked him into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of operation of a clandestine lab, possession of crystal meth, and traffic warrants from Port Vincent. The investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may be forthcoming.
