State Police bust meth lab in North Attleboro home

NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. — Two people were arrested by Massachusetts State Police for allegedly cooking meth in their North Attleboro home, police said on Monday.

Jaime Nickerson, 39, and Shannon Daley, 38, were arrested and each charged with manufacturing Methamphetamine, possession of a Class B narcotic, and conspiracy to violate drug laws.

A search warrant was issued on Jan. 15 at 35 Heather Street after many months of investigation by State Police.

When officials went into the home, they found Nickerson and Daley in the basement and two others in the home. The house was evacuated because of the high toxicity, but once the area was secured, officials searched the home and found:

  • A one-pot set-up where meth was being actively cooked
  • Completed meth product
  • Needles
  • A plastic container with a clear liquid of suspected methamphetamine
  • A coffee filter containing a white powder that field tested positive for methamphetamine
  • A liquid sample from a one-pot methamphetamine lab
  • A plastic cup containing a white residue
  • Items and materials consistent with those used in the production of methamphetamine, including:
    • lithium batteries, mineral salts, two packages of Sudafed brand pseudoephedrine, three Instant Cold Pack medication packages, a piece of cut hose, and a package of coffee filters

According to police, the defendants were arraigned in Attleboro District Court and the criminal case is pending.
