Man, 37, Arrested In Ritzville Drug Raid

One man was arrested after authorities raided a suspected methamphetamine production lab in a Ritzville residence Saturday.

Kevin G. Podschweit, 37, was booked into the Adams County Jail on charges of manufacturing and possessing methamphetamine with the intent to deliver.

Officers from several agencies served a search warrant at 506 N. Palouse, where they found “what appeared to be methamphetamine in several stages of production, including the finished product,” according to a statement from Ritzville Police Chief David McCormick.

Equipment “commonly used in production of methamphetamine” also was seized, including chemicals, beakers, glassware and filters, McCormick said.

More arrests are possible, he said.
