The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Seneca woman on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine, explains Oconee County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Jimmy Watt. “41-year-old Lisa Renee Reynolds of 14 Padgett Street was booked into the Oconee County Detention Center. Deputies responded to the Padgett Street address on the Utica Mill Hill Thursday afternoon due to accusations from Reynolds that her husband had stolen prescription medication from her. Reynolds also accused her husband of having a bottle with meth making substances in it, which she said she dumped the contents of out in the yard of the residence. According to deputies, the husband was not home at the time of the call. After being questioned concerning the meth lab, Reynolds took deputies to an outbuilding where deputies observed several items used in the manufacturing of meth. Narcotics agents were notified and arrived on the scene and a consent to search form was signed by Reynolds for deputies to search the property and residence. Deputies then discovered a shake and bake meth lab inside a suitcase in the residence, along with several items that are used in the manufacturing of meth in the residence and the outbuilding. Reynolds told deputies that she had not poured out the contents of the meth lab but put the shake and bake lab in the suitcase. Deputies arrested Reynolds on charges of manufacturing meth and placed her on a Temporary Custody Order until warrants could be obtained, which they were.” A minor child was found sleeping inside the residence and was turned over to the Department of Juvenile Justice on an outstanding pickup order.
