Law enforcement notes a rise in small mom and pop meth labs in Southern Illinois. Six to eight people run each operation using the Nazi method with lithium and anhydrous ammonia. Meth sells for about 100 dollars per gram and poses serious health and safety risks. Sheriff Faulkner and Carbondale police chief Finney describe increased arrests and vigilant store monitoring, as offenders grow more desperate and dangerous.
