Trick or treaters thought it was
another Halloween house, but the investigators and the crime
tape were real. Henry County deputies raided a home in
Paris saying the two men inside were using an especially
dangerous way to make methamphetamine.
Jonathan Leaidicker and Ryan
Spencer are charged with the manufacturing of meth and
investigators say they were using the "Shake-and-Bake"
method, a process where all ingredients are mixed in one
container and shaken to make meth in just one hour.
In just three weeks, there have
been three explosions in Henry County because of the
"shake-and-bake" method. Lieutenant Scott Wyrick with the
sheriff's department said the method usually results with a
fiery explosion.

Lieutenant Wyrick also said that
the improper disposal of meth labs is posing a threat to
children in the area. Daniel Page, who lives just houses
away from one meth explosion, said, "It makes you think
about the little kids that [are] outside playing and stuff.
You don't know what they're going to pick up or find to put
in their mouth."
