Metro Narcotics 13th meth bust this year sent a Jackson man to jail after officers found a meth lab in his motel room. According to investigators, Jeremiah Horne, 25, is facing charges of initiation of mehtamphetamine manufacture, possession of meth with intent to sell or deliver and felony possession of drug paraphernalia.
 
Officers said they arrested Horne at the Old Hickory Inn on Friday night after receiving a tip that there was a meth lab in a room. During a search, police said they found chemicals and other meth making materials. They also discovered finished product.
 
Officers said they saw evidence from a previous meth cook so they called in Hazardous materials contractors to clean the room. It is deemed safe.
