WHITESBORO, Tex. - A meth lab is busted in Whitesboro, right across the street from a school.

Grayson County Sheriff's Deputies obtained a search warrant Tuesday afternoon. When they arrived, they say they found the workings of a meth lab, which had been operational as late as Tuesday morning.

Three people were taken into custody, two of whom were arrested.

Lieutenant Jay Whitney says charges could be more severe because of the location of the lab. “I think courts will take into advisement right across street from school and numerous kids playing in the yards on either side of this house when we first started watching it today prior to hitting it with the search warrant.”

The names of the two people arrested have not been released, but officials say the two are well known in the drug community.
