Crawfordville man found with meth lab in bathroom

A 31 year old Crawfordville man was arrested Tuesday for operating a meth lab out of his home.

The Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit arrested Benjamin Franklin Graham, Jr. after an investigation that began in May.

Officers were able to purchase marijuana and methamphetamine from Graham, which allowed them to obtain a search warrant which was executed Tuesday morning.

During the search, deputies discovered an active chemical reaction in a bathroom and an active “gas generator” located in a tub.

All of the items located in the bathroom were necessary components for the manufacture of methamphetamine.

Deputies also found methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and approximately 40 grams of marijuana along with a surveillance camera, computer and televisions.

Graham was charged with possession of methamphetamine, sale of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana with intent to sell and sale of marijuana.

Graham was transported to the Wakulla County Jail without incident.

He is being held in the jail under a $250,000 bond.

Additional charges are anticipated.

Two other adults and five juveniles inside the home were taken out of the home for safety reasons.
