Meth lab busts in motel rooms increase in South CarolinaThe most recent local meth lab bust occurred in this room at the Holiday Inn Express off Interstate 20 and U.S. Highway 1 north of Aiken. There were 100 meth busts in South Carolina in 2002.
It's a motel manager's worst nightmare: A highly explosive blend of chemicals and toxic vapors secretly brewing under his roof, surrounded on all sides by unsuspecting guests.
Motel room meth labs are cropping up in the area with increasing frequency, as evidenced by a bust this week on a suspected lab in a motel north of Aiken and several recent Augusta-area raids. Law enforcement officials and those in the hospitality industry say these clandestine operations are drawn to motels for reasons of secrecy, convenience and, in some cases, desperation.
"I would suspect people who do this in motels are known to have done it at their homes previously and may have been arrested before," said John Ozaluk, the special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration's South Carolina offices.
Agent Ozaluk calls the Monday seizure of suspected trace methamphetamine lab evidence at the Holiday Inn Express off Interstate 20 and U.S. Highway 1 "an anomaly." Of the 100 or so meth-lab seizures made in South Carolina so far this year, only three or four were in motel rooms, Agent Ozaluk said.
Two suspects who checked out before a housecleaning worker discovered a strange odor in the room are still at large. Paul Allen Cureton Jr., 37, and Amber Poston, 19, both of Pelion, are believed to have fled to Lexington County, Aiken County sheriff's officials said. Authorities suspect they have a toddler in tow.
Authorities say methamphetamine, a stimulant known commonly on the street as "crank" "meth" or "crystal," is becoming increasingly easy to make using Internet recipes and store-bought materials. Enough equipment and ingredients to make a few ounces can be packed into a box and stuffed in a car trunk. Drug-makers sometimes ventilate the fumes from a hose out a rear window or into a sink or toilet. They may even recirculate it through the air conditioning, Mr. Ozaluk said.
"Ventilation and cooking it in a confined space is a major problem," he said. "It also makes it very dangerous."
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office has uncovered five or six meth labs in motel rooms, including one that was discovered after a fire broke out. Some meth manufacturers don't even bother to ventilate, according to Sgt. Allan Rollins of the department's narcotics unit.
"We had a couple that didn't use any ventilation, and the room stunk to high creation," Sgt. Rollins said. "When you opened the motel room door, the odor just overwhelmed you. And a lot of these chemicals they deal with are explosive."
Tom Sponseller, the executive director of the Hospitality Association of South Carolina, says motel and hotel meth labs "have been a concern within the industry for several years."
Hoteliers have learned ways to spot drug-makers, he said.
"They typically look at long-term guests a little closer, especially if they're moving a lot of stuff in and out of the room," Mr. Sponseller said. Franchise chains educate their managers on what to look for, and many are installing parking lot cameras for added security.
The DEA's Mr. Ozaluk says methamphetamine busts statewide have jumped dramatically in the past two years. In 2001, there were only six in South Carolina. The next year there were 100. He says the spike is more the result of law enforcement's focus on finding labs than actual increases in the labs themselves.
