Mobile Meth Lab Discovered in Greensboro

June 18, 2012 | Audrey Fannin

A Tennessee man faces multiple charges after a drug investigation closed two lanes of Interstate 40 in Greensboro for several hours Monday morning.  

Greensboro police say officers saw a pickup truck weaving through traffic around 6 a.m., and pulled it over after a plate check determined that the vehicle had been stolen.  A statement from the Greensboro police says law enforcement agents found evidence of illicit drug activity in plain sight.  Suspecting a "mobile meth lab," hazmat crews, fire crews and SBI agents were then called to the scene.  They found anhydrous ammonia and lithium - two other ingredients in methamphetamine - in the truck.  

The investigation took place near Wendover Avenue, and the two right lanes were closed from there to Patterson Street until just before 1 in the afternoon.  Forty-three year old Tracy Gaylor of Heiskell, TN, faces a number of charges, including maintaining a vehicle for keeping a controlled substance.
