LOWER POTTSGROVE » Township police have released the names and photograph­s of four people charged in the June 20 early-morning raid at Rolling Hills apartments that revealed an alleged methamphet­amine lab.

One suspect, Amber Devine, fled the scene when police arrived at 3 a.m. Wednesday at Apartment 135.

A warrant was issued for her arrest Saturday evening and by Monday, she too was in police custody.

The other three occupants of the apartment, who were taken into custody on June 20, were identified as Melissa Meehan, Katrina Perez and Gary Hodgson.

All four are currently being held at Montgomery County Correction­al Facility and bail for all four has been set at $75,000.

Specific charges have not yet been released.

Lower Pottsgrove Police were assisted on scene by the Pennsylvan­ia State Police Clandestin­e Lab unit, the Montgomery County Detectives, Upper Pottsgrove Township Police, Limerick Township Police and Royersford Borough Police Department.

Evidence was seized indicating this location was being used to manufactur­e methamphet­amine and criminal charges are pending outcome of the investigat­ion, according to police.

The apartment in which the incident took place was condemned by Lower Pottsgrove Codes Department as result of the contaminat­ion from the chemicals used in the manufactur­ing operation.
