WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Police officers, firefighters and a Hazmat team assembled at a West Palm Beach apartment complex Tuesday to investigate a possible meth lab.
Police say they received a call concerning narcotics at the White Hall complex in the 2700 block of Village Boulevard.
Police say they're looking for the ingredients used to cook methamphetamines which could lead to the arrest of a 24-year-old man whom they have not yet identified. He is currently being questioned.
Police say the man's father called 911.
The man who claims he is the father did not want to be identified but said his son has had problems with drugs for years. "My biggest fear is he's gonna die. He's really thin. He don't have control. He can't make decisions. He's sincere in that he believes he's gonna get help but he's not going to."
No one has been evacuated. Police say the ingredients used today didn't pose any immediate threat to neighbors.
