Meth lab raid could become a federal case
By Steve Nash -- Brownwood Bulletin
 BLANKET -- Federal charges may be filed after lawmen raided a methamphetamine lab Friday near Blanket, a law enforcement official said.
Officers with the West Central Texas Interlocal Crime Task Force, the Brown County Sheriff's Office, and the Brownwood and Early police departments arrested four people and seized a large amount of chemicals and equipment used for making methamphetamine, task force commander Billy Schat said.
Two guns were also seized, and one was reported stolen in Brown County, Schat said.
The lawmen served a search warrant at a home on County Road 321, Schat said.
Schat said the lab was one of the larger ones lawmen have seen in Brown County.
"We were glad to get this one," he said.
