Two Arnold residents were arrested and charged in connection with the meth lab.
Two people from Arnold were arrested following a drug bust at a vacant house on Parkview Court last Friday, police say.
Following the bust, police arrested a 45-year-old man and 23-year-old woman on suspicion of possession of drug paraphernalia, drug distribution and endangering the life of a child, who was present. The suspects were released pending formal charges from the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
