A south Fayette man is in custody

after drug agents found a disassembled methamphetamine lab in a barn behind

his south Fayette residence late Friday evening, police said.

When Robert Bylock, 39, was

arrested in Clayton County Monday, agents discovered another meth lab

in his SUV, police said.

Bylock is charged with one

count of manufacturing methamphetamine and one count of possession of

anhydrous ammonia, one of the main compounds used to create the illegal

drug.

Agents from the Fayette County

Sheriff's Department Drug Task Force and the Clandestine Lab Team

from the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency raided Bylock's home at

1383 Redwine Road late Friday night, but he wasn't home, police said.

Agents from the sheriff's department's Special Enforcement Team

were also on hand as the search warrant was executed because of the increased

danger involved, agents said.

The lab had apparently been

disassembled, but there was significant evidence Bylock had "cooked"

methamphetamine at the residence, agents said. Although chemicals common

in methamphetamine manufacturing were found at the residence, no contraband

or money was found, agents said.

Bylock was found Monday at

the Tara Inn and Suites in Clayton County where he was arrested by Fayette

DTF agents and their counterparts in Clayton County, agents said. When

they went to search his Toyota 4-Runner SUV in the parking lot, they found

a meth lab that had been used to manufacture methamphetamine on the go,

agents said.

It is anticipated that Clayton

County will also file charges on Bylock, Fayette drug agents said.

Although the lab at the Fayette

residence was disassembled, agents believe Bylock was still living at

the home there, agents said.

When methamphetamine is cooked,

it produces a strong chemical odor, agents said.
