IRON MOUNTAIN — One person was arrested after authorities found an active methamphetamine lab Wednesday in an apartment complex on U.S. 2 just north of Iron Mountain.

A detective lieutenant with the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Department was helping the Michigan Department of Corrections with a parole visit at one of the apartments at N3976 U.S. 2 about 2 p.m. when they discovered the lab in a closet, according to a press release issued Thursday by the sheriff’s department.

They obtained a search warrant to confirm the lab and then contacted the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team for disposal services.

Authorities arrested a man on a parole detainer and will submit a report to the Dickinson County Prosecutor’s Office for additional charges, according to the release.

The sheriff’s department continues to investigate and may have additional suspects. Anyone with information on the incident is urged to contact Det./Lt. Derek Dixon at 906-774-8008.

The KIND Drug Team, Kingsford Public Safety Department, Breitung Township Fire Department and Dickinson-Iron District Health Department also assisted deputies.
