motor home turned-up items commonly used in the manufacturing of meth-

amphetamine, including a gatorade bottle containing Coleman fuel, meth oil

in excess of 14 grams, numerous lithium batteries, empty pseudophedrine

packs, gatorade bottles, 3 digital scales and glass casserole dishes containing

meth residue. Inside the trailer and also in a woman's purse, officers found

numerous used syringes with hypodermic needles.

Inside a rear compartment of the motor home, a box was found con-

taining seven unfired shotgun shells. Baker said he d first placed the shells in

his vehicle, then he’d removed them from the van and placed them inside the

motor home. He told Inv. Barrera, according to the report, that he cooks meth

for his personal use not to sell, that he had not finished a cook that day, and if

there was any meth on the property it belonged to Samuel Garrett.

All four were placed under arrest and transported to the Levy County

Jail by way of a transport van provided by the sheriff s office.

confirmed he s an eight-time convicted felon. He was charged with possession

of meth (14 gms. or more), seven counts of possession of ammo by a convicted

felon, possession of chemicals for the manufacture of a controlled substance,

possession and/or use of drug equipment and tampering/fabricating physical Aleksandrovic
