On May 12, 2014 Deputies with the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office located a meth lab in a residence on Fairview Acres, outside the city limits of South Charleston, WV. In addition to finding components of an ordinary meth lab, investigators also found a “shake and bake” type lab that had been used in the past and still contained some ingredients.
Stephen Gregory Skaggs, 27 years old of Saint Albans, WV, was arrested and charged with operating a clandestine meth lab. He was arraigned by Magistrate Pauley who set a bond of $5,000.00 or 10% property. Mr. Skaggs was unable to make bond, and was taken to South Central Regional Jail. Attached is a mug shot from today’s arrest.
As is always the case in criminal matters, the charge against Mr. Skaggs is merely an accusation. He is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
