Local News in Brief : Fullerton : Police Find Drug Lab at Apartment; 3 Held

Two men and a woman were each being held on $25,000 bail Tuesday after the discovery of a laboratory allegedly used to manufacture methamphetamine.

Police were called to the apartment in the 100 block of North Stanford Avenue about 5:45 a.m. Monday after another tenant in the building told the manager of smoke and a chemical odor coming from a vent in the rear of the apartment, according to Fullerton Police Sgt. Jeff Roop.

Leslie Ann Mlynarski, 27, and twin brothers David and William Godfrey, 29, were arrested on suspicion of manufacturing drugs and possession of drugs for sale after Mlynarski consented to a search of the apartment, Roop said.

Police moved a couch and discovered a hole in the wall to the garage. There, police found 40 pounds of ephedrine, the principal ingredient in methamphetamine, and other chemicals used to make the drug, according to police. Lab equipment was also confiscated.
