COLUMBIA COUNTY, FL – On Sunday, January 13, 2013, Columbia County Sheriff's Office deputies discovered a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory.

At approximately 8:50 pm., Deputies Brian Lucas and Chad Guerry were conducting a neighborhood patrol when they observed a suspicious vehicle parked at 317 NE Double Run Rd. While investigating the vehicle, the Deputies could smell a chemical odor in the area. The chemical odor was consistent with the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine.

While Deputies Lucas and Guerry made contact with several persons in the yard of the residence, two suspects were seen running inside of a camper trailer located on the property. Deputies made contact with the two individuals in the trailer and discovered materials consistent with the clandestine manufacture of methamphetamine. Deputies also discovered additional paraphernalia in a burn pit on the property.

While searching the property for additional evidence, a male subject was found hiding under a trailer on the property. The subject was determined to have a fugitive arrest warrant from Pennsylvania. Christopher Abbott was taken into custody without incident.

The Columbia County Multi Jurisdictional Task Force assisted the Patrol Division of the Sheriff's Office with the collection of the hazardous materials collected from the scene. The MJTF is comprised of detectives from the Columbia County Sheriff's Office, Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
