Katrina evacuees accused of cooking meth in Gulf Shores motel
GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) — Two Hurricane Katrina evacuees were arrested and charged after they were found cooking methamphetamine in a Gulf Shores motel room paid for by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, authorities said.
Gulf Shores Police Narcotics Investigator Tommy Green said the Pascagoula, Miss. man and woman were charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Green said Jason Alan Cook, 22, was pulled over for a traffic violation Friday morning and the arresting officer found he was in possession of meth and drug paraphernalia.
Cook led police back to the Phoenix All Suites where investigators found Jamie Lyn Murphy, 25, and a makeshift meth lab, Green said.
"It was a very dangerous, volatile situation that could've been tragic if they'd have had a fire or explosion," he said.
Murphy, who also was charged with possession of marijuana, had rented the room through a FEMA hurricane displacement program, according to Gulf Shores police.
Police did not know how long the two had been staying at the hotel, Green said.
FEMA spokesman Jay Eaker confirmed that Phoenix All Suites billed the agency.
