Four Arrested for Suspected Meth Lab
Few details are being released about the arrest of four people Thursday morning after a suspected methamphetamine lab was found in a Galesburg home.

Galesburg Police say 25-year old Curtis Wright, 23-year old Amanda Burns, 32-year old Joni Trigger, and 28-year old Zachary Petersimes all were arrested and face multiple drug charges.

Police officials say officers and the Illinois State Police Methamphetamine Response Team all went to 911 North Farnham Street around 10 o'clock Thursday morning after they received a call of a suspicious odor coming from there.

Officials say that led to the discovery of what they describe as an active methamphetamine lab, but don't say specifically what else was found.

All four face charges of Aggravated Participation in Meth Manufacturing, Possession of Anhydrous Ammonia, and Possession of Meth Manufacturing Materials. Trigger also face charges of Permitting the Unlawful Use of a Building.

They're all being held in the Knox County Jail pending future court dates, and authorities say an investigation continues.
