BURGLARY INVESTIGATION LEADS TO METH LAB

ULLIN, ILL. -- Two people were arrested Friday and a third is being sought after a burglary investigation led to the discovery of a methamphetamine lab, the Pulaski County state's attorney said.

Deputies of the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department had originally obtained a warrant to search a mobile home on Butcher Road near Mound City, Ill., said Patrick Duffy, state's attorney. They were investigating a burglary that had occurred in a rural part of the county on Jan. 15.

Along with members of the Illinois State Police, who were assisting in the search, officers discovered chemicals and substances used to make methamphetamine and completed methamphetamine.

Items from the burglary were also found, Duffy said.

Deputies arrested Glenn Khourie, 27, and Tresa Caudle, 20, of Grand Chain, Ill. Khourie, who lived at the trailer, was found at Caudle's residence.

Khourie is charged with manufacturing and possession of a controlled substance, burglary and theft.

Caudle is charged with chemical breakdown of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Both are jailed at the Tri-County Justice and Detention Center in Ullin, Ill. Khourie's bond is $20,000, while Caudle's is $5,000.

Law enforcement is also seeking the arrest of Kenneth W. Caudle, 30, who Duffy said is connected with manufacturing methamphetamine.
