HANOVER TWP., Ohio - A Hanover Township couple is under arrest following a raid on a meth lab by the Columbiana County Drug Task Force.

Agents say they arrested 38-year-old Beau McGuire and 37-year-old Melissa Frederick on Thursday following raids on two residences along Gavers Road.

Authorities claim that McGuire was making the drug in a garage at his mother's home.

Investigators say the mom didn't know that the illegal activity was taking place on her property.

Agents also searched McGuire's nearby trailer on Gavers Road, where they say they found evidence linking McGuire to the meth lab.

Both are charged with manufacturing drugs and possessing the chemicals used to make those drugs.

County deputies and firefighters from Hanoverton were also called to the scene due to the presence of toxic and potentially explosive chemicals used to make methamphetamine.
