Evidence of a shake-n-bake methamphetamine lab was found Monday morning in a South Frontage Road motel room by Warren County investigators.

Warren County deputies are working with Lamar County because the officials “were working a case that involved methamphetamine that might have been manufactured in the Vicksburg area,” said Sheriff Martin Pace.

He said he believes the suspects traveled to Vicksburg to use the motel room and does not think the owners or managers of the business knew about the cook.

Officials from both counties are seeking to identify the suspect, Pace said.

“We’re confident we will identify suspects and will make an arrest,” said Pace.

There was sufficient caustic chemicals to warrant a cleanup crew from Jackson, Pace said.
