MIDDLETOWN, Ohio - Middletown police discovered a meth lab while conducting a search warrant Monday night.

Police say a male suspect bolted out of the truck and inside the residence. Peck gave officers consent to search the inside of the home, which is when a meth lab was discovered inside the basement.
Police say experts are working to stabilize the hazardous materials and chemicals used in the meth lab.
Peck was charged with permitting drug abuse.
