A Somerset man is accused of distributing pounds of Meth.
44 year old John Jason Hunt is charged with conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine. Police say he supplied multiple people one-pound quantities of meth on a weekly basis.
Members of Laurel County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration interviewed several people - from Lexington, Ky. to Lafayette, Ga. - who claimed to have either purchased meth from Hunt or assisted in delivering meth to Hunt.
One witness told law enforcement that Hunt "moved 100 pounds of meth every month."
In September 2018, the Lookout Mountain Drug Task Force in North Georgia executed search warrants on a house and storage unit in Lafayette, Ga., owned by Angela Hughes.
The storage building also had Hunt's name on it as someone who could access it.
Within the unit, law enforcement found a "meth conversion lab," along with over a kilogram of liquid meth.
Hunt remains lodged in the Laurel County Jail.
