WATERTOWN â One man was arrested Tuesday morning after officers allegedly found what appeared to be methamphetamine-making materials and ammunition for an assault rifle in his home while executing a bench warrant.
At about 10 a.m., members of the Metro-Jefferson Drug Task Force were called to assist city police with a drug and weapons investigation. Officers arrested Justin P. Stiles, 41, on a bench warrant for unrelated charges at his home, 661 Factory St., where they allegedly saw the drug-making materials and assault rifle magazine.
An investigation led to a search warrant being executed at the home. Task force members would go on to seize the drug-making materials, four ounces of liquid containing meth and a 30-round magazine for an assault rifle.
