NEWS RELEASE

Summary

On October 11th, Ryan Galloway was arrested for Class B Felony Manufacturing Methamphetamine. Galloway gave a home address of 1716 S. Kerth which is owned by his grandmother. On October 12th, the grandmother called the police for a “standby” so officers could check her rental home at 1716 S. Kerth, since her grandson had been living there. Uniform officers observed several items associated with the manufacturing of meth inside the home. Members from the Meth Suppression Unit and JTF responded to the scene. Over 100 “one pot” meth labs were recovered inside the house. EPD Crime Scene, Evansville Fire and ISP Meth Suppression were also called to the scene which lasted several hours to pull items safely out of the house. The Health Department also tagged the residence as uninhabitable. Ryan Galloway will be charged with a second count of Manufacturing Methamphetamine.
