Five behind bars after Pike Co. meth lab raid

Five people are behind bars after a meth lab raid in Pike County.

Sheriff's deputies received an anonymous tip, and when they got to the trailer in Waverly late last night, they saw items used to make meth.

They also smelled a strong odor of chemicals.

Deputies removed everyone from the home, including a three-year-old.

About an hour later, around 1 o'clock this morning, a judge issued a search warrant.

Deputies arrested five people after finding "numerous items used in the manufacture of methamphetamine."

Johnny Friley, Carisa Friley, and Erika Skaggs were charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, child endangering, and other crimes.

18-year-olds Nikkia Murray and Dakota Dickey were charged with illegal possession of chemicals to manufacture methamphetamine.
