One of five people arrested in connection with an alleged meth lab at a South Point apartment has admitted his involvement.

Tyler Adkins, 24, of 223 Township Road 1186 Apt. 30, pleaded guilty to a count of third-degree attempted illegal manufacture of drugs. That charge was amended from a count of second-degree illegal manufacture of drugs.

Judge D. Scott Bowling sentenced the man to 35 months in prison, suspended his driver’s license for six months and ordered him to pay a $5,000 fine.

Nathan D. Boyd, 24, Roberta Boyd, 43, William Gore, 45, and Kimbralee Boyd, 22, all of the same address, are also charged in connection with the alleged meth lab and have all pleaded not guilty to one count each of second-degree illegal manufacture of drugs. Gore was also arraigned on a fifth-degree count of possession of drugs (morphine).

The apartment where the alleged meth lab was found was in the Lawrence Commons Apartment complex. The defendants were arrested in March after the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office received an anonymous call about a strange odor coming from the residence.

The deputies found a 20-ounce soda bottle, rubber tube and several ingredients commonly used to make meth, according to a release from the sheriff’s office. A deputy confirmed that meth was actively cooking inside the bottle.
