Police have charged two people with manufacturing methamphetamine in Ludlow after a woman was taken to a hospital in Houlton after being exposed to the chemicals used to make the drug.
Kayla Nason, 25, of Houlton was taken to Houlton Regional Hospital after an accidental exposure to the toxic chemicals used in making the drug, according to the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency. Police say manufacturing methamphetamine also can lead to fires and explosions.
Nason was treated and released but police launched an investigation that led to the seizure of a vehicle. A search of the vehicle Monday uncovered evidence related to making meth, police said.
Nason was charged with trafficking methamphetamine, a class B felony, and James Anthony, 30, of Ludlow was charged with aggravated trafficking of methamphetamine, a class A crime because of a prior felony drug conviction.
The seizure was the 26th methamphetamine lab incident in the state this year, the sixth in Aroostook County.
