Troopers aid in meth bust in east Talkeetna

Investigators with the Mat Su Narcotics Unit, Alaska Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Enforcement, as well as Alaska State Troopers made an arrest at a house on I Street in east Talkeetna at 3 o’clock Wednesday morning.

A search warrant and investigation led the officials to an active meth lab in the house. The meth production employed a ‘one pot’ method of manufacturing methamphetamine.

Homeowner Jennifer Spain, 48 and Michael Halla, 27, both of Talkeetna, were placed under arrest for multiple counts of manufacturing of a controlled substance and transported to Mat Su Pre Trial in Palmer.
