Three Charged In Meth Lab Bust

Thu., April 1, 1999

Three of five people arrested in a raid on a suspected methamphetamine lab appeared in court Wednesday to answer drug charges.

Kenneth Guardipee, Glen Story and Alan Anderson each are charged with manufacturing methamphetamine after they were arrested Tuesday at their Big Creek home, the Shoshone County Sheriff’s Department said.

Lori Bauer of Kellogg and a 14-year-old boy also were arrested, but have not been charged.

Shoshone County Drug Task Force officers discovered the meth lab while trying to arrest Guardipee on an undisclosed outstanding warrant, according to the sheriff’s department. State Criminal Investigations Bureau agents were then called to the home to remove chemicals and glassware.

Guardipee, 41, was being held Wednesday on a bond of $275,000. Bond was set at $150,000 for Story, 42, and Anderson, 34.
