JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics officials say four people from three states are charged with operating a methamphetamine lab in a north Mississippi casino hotel room.
The lab was discovered in a room at the Sheraton Casino in Robinsonville late Tuesday night.
MBN Director Marshall Fisher said in a news release that the four people are charged with manufacture of methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine precursors.
They are: Johnny Swinford, 25, of Horn Lake, Miss.; Cali Scott, 24, of Hernando, Miss.; Cassie Jenson, 21, of Memphis, Tenn.; and Ronnie Crump, 47, of Monette, Ark.
It wasn't immediately clear if any of those charged had attorneys.
Fisher said narcotics agents seized approximately $4,000 in cash and a loaded .32-caliber semiautomatic pistol.
