DAWSONVILLE - While authorities were keeping details quiet, they confirmed they dismantled a small methamphetamine lab in Dawson County Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Dawson County Sheriff's Captain Tony Wooten said deputies and the Appalachian Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at the home on Hanging Dog Road last Thursday.<br />
<br />
During the search, Wooten said authorities found evidence people were manufacturing meth at the residence off of Dawson Forest Road, west of Georgia 400.<br />
<br />
During the following six days, Wooten said investigators developed evidence that led them back to the residence today (Wednesday). He said they found materials used in making meth.<br />
<br />
That prompted caution on the part of authorities because of the dangerous nature of the meth making process.<br />
<br />
"We used people with HAZMAT suits to go in and be able to dismantle and take it into evidence in a safe manner that doesn't cause any damage to officers that are on scene or any people around it," Wooten said.<br />
<br />
He confirmed Wednesday afternoon that two people had been taken into custody in the last 24 hours in connection with the operation.<br />
<br />
"There could be additional charges coming for additional suspects as well. At this point we've taken two into custody ," Wooten said.<br />
<br />
While the investigation was ongoing, Wooten expected to release the suspect names Thursday.<br />
