- By Rick Sobey

Two people were arrested last week after police busted up a lab in a North Attleboro home where meth was allegedly being cooked, according to Massachuse­tts State Police.

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

The months-long investigat­ion was led by Trooper Cory Medeiros and the State Police Clandestin­e Lab Enforcemen­t Team.

A warrant was executed with assistance from other State Police units, the state Department of Fire Services, the North Attleboro police and fire department­s, and other law enforcemen­t agencies.

Once inside the house, police say, they found a clandestin­e methamphet­amine lab and equipment where police allege methamphet­amine was being cooked. Troopers and officers also found what they suspect is completed methamphet­amine and needles used to inject the drugs.

During their search of the residence, police located and seized 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 onepot methamphet­amine lab and a plastic cup containing a white residue.

Police also found other items and materials consistent with those used in the production of methamphet­amine.

Nickerson and Daley were arraigned in Attleboro District Court.
