Meth lab busted in Town of Scio

SCIO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Two people were taken into custody early Saturday morning following a 3 hour standoff with New York State Troopers on outstanding felony warrants from the Town of Bolivar.

Troopers located 24-year-old Jordan Doane of Friendship and 22-year-old Elizabeth Martin of Wellsville at the Long Vue Motel in the Town of Scio.

They both refused to come out from the hotel when ordered by the troopers.

The two were arrested on charges of Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine in the Third Degree (a Class D Felony) and Unlawful Disposal of Methamphetamine Laboratory Material (a Class E Felony).

The charges were filed by Troopers following the investigation of a clandestine laboratory located on Kansas Hollow Road in the Town of Bolivar on November 21, 2012. It was here where the production of methamphetamine showed up in numerous incidents.

Doane and Martin were taken to the State Police barracks in Amity where they were processed. They were then taken to the Town of Bolivar Court where they were arraigned on the charges and remanded to the Allegany County Jail in lieu of bail.

Additional charges may be pending; Allegany County District Attorney Keith Slep continues to monitor these cases as the investigation remains underway.
