Investigators discovered the lab in the garage along with ingredients needed to make the drug at the home of a man, 32, on Warner Road, Washington County sheriff's deputies said. About 22 ounces of methamphetamine oil and a .22-caliber loaded handgun were also seized, police said. Chemicals were in mason jars, glassware and soda and beer bottles, deputies said. The Capital District Drug Task Force was directed to the man's house by Drug Enforcement Agency investigators who said the man had obtained 200 grams of red phosphorous over the Internet from the United Kingdom. Red phosphorous is a key ingredient in manufacturing methamphetamine and has limited use, police said. The man was charged Tuesday with criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony, deputies said. He was arraigned at Kingsbury Town Court and is being held at the Washington County Correctional Facility in lieu of $150,000 bail. - --- MAP posted-by: Elaine
