Anderson – Yesterday shortly after 3 p.m. members of the Pendleton District Meth Squad went to a home at 2428 E. 38th St. in Anderson as a result of an ongoing meth investigation. While at the home officers located a meth lab, methamphetamine along with the chemicals used in the manufacture of methamphetamine.

Arrested was Bria Newberry, age 24, and Christopher Robinson, age 27.
