In Tennessee, what started out as a large meth lab bust has ended with several surprising twists and the arrest of eight people.

In Campbell County which is located on the Tennessee, Kentucky border, authorities found at least 69 prior labs and enough supplies to make pounds more of the drug.

When the sheriff’s department took a photographer from our sister station in Knoxville to the scene, more people arrived and more arrests were made.

One individual even tried to flee the scene after he was in custody.

The suspects face various drug charges and child endangerment.
