“…It’s a huge public safety issue. The chemicals involved are volatile, can be volatile especially when mixed together. People that don’t know what they’re doing, even people who are experienced at cooking, still cause 
fires, explosions…”
Two men are accused of setting up a meth lab in a Tallahassee motel. It happened at the Super 8 motel on North Monroe Street. Deputies say a tip led them to room 229 and the strong smell led them to a meth lab inside.
Jack Peppers and Kevin Smith – both of Thomasville – are accused of trafficking in meth, manufacturing meth and having the ingredients to make more. Deputies say one batch of the meth was ready and divided up for use. Another batch, they say, was being chemically cooked upstairs.
“The dry product, we had about 16 grams which is worth about $1600 on the street which is pretty significant for what they consider a small lab,” said SGTÂ Ed Cook with LCSO’s Vice and Narcotics Unit. “They also had another 500 grams of product that was still cooking.”
Deputies had to ventilate the room for hours before going inside to clean it up. They say all of the adjoining rooms were vacant so they did not have to evacuate any other motel guests.
