Arab Police have charged two people with manufacturing crystal meth in separate incidents earlier this week.

APD ANVIL officer Scotty Watson said Tammie Carol Serami, age 41, of Cullman was arrested Monday afternoon and charged with Manufacturing 2nd.  Watson received a tip that Serami, and another person, had bought Lithium batteries and Sudafed at a local pharmacy. Both items are used in the manufacturing process.  Serami was stopped by Arab patrol Robbie Rainwater after allegedly making an illegal turn.  According to Watson, Serami was in possession of three baggies of finished Meth, the precursor items purchased earlier, and other drug paraphernalia.  Watson said the combination of finished product and the other items allows for the manufacturing charge.  Serami is being held in the Marshall County Jail.

The serving of a harassing communication warrant led to the discovery of an active lab in a local motel room Wednesday afternoon.  Watson and APD Corporal Mitch Stone were attempting to serve the Morgan County arrest warrant on Greg Alan Riley, age 34, when they discovered a "One Pot Lab" allegedly being operated by Riley.  Riley was charged with Manufacturing 1st, two counts of unlawful possession of drugs (meth & pills), and possession of drug paraphernalia.  Riley is being held in the Marshall County Jail under a $30,000 bond.
