Charges filed against suspect in Glen Rock meth lab

GLEN ROCK, Pa. (WHTM) -

Police in southern York County have identified a man they arrested following the discovery of an illegal methamphetamine manufacturing operation inside a Glen Rock building.

Southern Regional police said Richard Daniel Boone has been charged with operating a methamphetamine laboratory, causing or risking a catastrophe, manufacture of a controlled substance, recklessly endangering another person, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was arraigned and placed into York County Prison on $85,000 bail.

Police said the meth lab was discovered in an apartment above a laundromat at 30 Water Street.

The discovery was made during an investigation into a domestic dispute Thursday night, when officers developed probable cause to obtain a search warrant for the vacant apartment, according to police.

The building was evacuated Friday morning and a search of the apartment turned up chemicals and equipment consistent with a meth production site, police said.

A state police clandestine lab team called in to process the scene later concluded that the site was indeed a meth production site and all chemicals and equipment were safely removed, police said.
