On November 20, 2013 the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office STOP team was investigating a drug tip that a subject was manufacturing methamphetamine in a wooded area along Quincy Hollow Road. STOP team members responded to this area and located a white male exiting the woods behind a residence on Quincy Hollow Road.
The male, Alton Douglas Mullins, Jr (34 years old of Quincy) was identified. A methamphetamine shake and bake lab was located in the woods along with finished product on Mr. Mullins’ person.
Mr. Mullins was arrested and taken to Kanawha County Magistrate Court where he was arraigned on a felony count of operating a clandestine laboratory. He was then taken to South Central Regional Jail in lieu of bond.
This clandestine meth lab was discovered thanks to a tip submitted by a concerned citizen. The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office encourages anyone with information on the operators, location, and methods of meth labs to call 304-357-4693. Tips can also be received through our website, at www.kanawhasheriff.us. All those submitting tips can remain anonymous.
As is always the case in criminal matters the charge against Mr. Mullins is merely an accusation. He is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
