Northwest Washington drug lab busted by Grant County deputies

Deputies busted a drug lab out of a home in Douglas County off Hurst Landing Road, creating a hallucinogen and a liquid marijuana extract, both which deputies say are extremely dangerous.

Grant County officers say it started as a follow up to a tip from two deputies in Grant County. The investigation lead deputies to 4620 Hurst Landing Road, in Rock Island.

There they found materials to create, package and sell DMT and butane honey oil illegally on the Internet. The investigation involves 10 search warrants and revealed a thousands of bottles, containers and labels, commercial sealers, and packaging and shipping supplies. There is also a commercial-grade gas chromatograph, many gallons of laboratory liquid reagents that present explosive and poison danger via vapors or leakage, and many pressurized gas cylinders which were not stored safely.

At this point no one has been arrested but the investigation is continuing.

In a statement, Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones said the home looked like any other but, "hidden inside was a drug lab capable of injuring people in a variety of different ways. I'm grateful for the teamwork between all of the different agencies which helped make this neighborhood safer again."

The Washington State Patrol SWAT team and crime lab, Washington Department of Ecology, Columbia River Drug Task Force and Grant County’s Interagency Narcotics Enforcement Team (INET), and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office all participated in the investigation.
