CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A woman was arrested at her Clarksville apartment Wednesday night after agents with the 19th Judicial District Drug Task Force discovered meth making materials.
“Clarksville Police Department responded to a call at the complex where children were complaining of a chemical smell and a burning sensation in their eyes,” said Sgt. Kyle Darnell. “They called us for assistance and we searched the apartment.”
The building on Executive Drive has been quarantined. Samantha Smith, 30, was jailed on $20,000 bond.
Agents collected components used in creating methamphetamine, which lead to the quarantine of the entire building, as the apartments in the building share an attic and ventilation system.
“The neighbors, who were innocent in all this, found themselves displaced because of the meth being manufactured in the apartment,” Darnell said.
Along with CPD, Clarksville Fire Rescue and Montgomery County EMS provided assistance at the scene.
