Three People Arrested in Berkeley County for Operating Meth Labs

On Tuesday, December 10th, Berkeley County officials also busted three people for three separate meth labs.

Richard Anthony Schultz, 41, was arrested after deputies searched his home and found several ingredients needed for “one pot” and “shake and bake” meth labs, which are becoming increasingly popular throughout South Carolina because they can be made from plastic soda bottles, and are easily disposable.

Officers also arrested Jennifer Atkinson, 31, at her home in a separate incident after searching her home and finding meth-making materials and a potential meth lab. She was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, and also exposing a child to meth.

Finally, officers arrested Bonneau citizen William Clifford Casselman, 42. He was charged with manufacturing methamphetamines, and simple possession of marijuana.

Reportedly, in neighboring Dorchester County, deputies also busted four additional meth labs in two days.
