West Virginia State Police officers went to Chapmanville on Sunday to question a suspect regarding a burglary that occurred earlier in the day.

Upon arrival, the officer spoke with the homeowner, Eddie Conley Sr. Conley gave the officers verbal and written permission to search his residence and surrounding dwellings.

While searching the residence, the officers heard the sound of someone taking the top off a toilet. Officers knocked on the door several times until eventually the defendants Jamie Browning along with Eddie Conley opened the door. After searching the bathroom, officers discovered a clear plastic bottle with dried white residue inside.

Officers contacted the West Virginia State Police clandestine lab technician who advised plastic pop bottles are used in operations relating to a clandestine lab in a technique commonly referred to as a “Shake and Bake” meth lab.

The technician further advised the substance was sudafedrin in an altered state.

Officers determined the defendants Jamie Browning and Eddie Conley Jr. conspired in making/operating a meth lab.

Officers also located a small amount of marijuana in the bathroom with Jamie Browning and Eddie Conley Jr.

The two were charged with obstructing, attempting/operating a clandestine lab, simple possession, conspiracy and possession of sudafedrin in altered state. Bond for each was set at $100,000.
