Two Manitowoc men were arrested yesterday after authorities learned they were making methamphetamine.
An officer watched as a man left his residence in the 1000 block of South 16th Street with a plastic bag in his hands.
The man then dumped the bag which the officer believed to be filled with drugs, into a dumpster.
Several marked cars approached the 42-year-old man, but he attempted to flee on a pedal bike.
He was quickly apprehended near the intersection of South 21st and Franklin Streets. He was found to be in possession of Methamphetamine and admitted to making the drug in his home.
The man’s roommate, a 32-year-old man, admitted to purchasing one of the ingredients and knew what it would be used for.
The first man has been charged with Possession of Methamphetamine, Meth Waste, and Meth with Intent to Deliver, as well as Knowingly Soliciting the Purchase of Pseudoephedrine, while the younger man was charged with Purchasing Pseudoephedrine on Behalf of Another to Manufacture Methamphetamine.
