LISBON - The Columbiana County grand jury issued open indictments Thursday in connection with three separate suspected meth lab sites uncovered in June and September in the southern part of the county, including a mobile lab in a car.

Christopher Slasor, 38, of 12844 Echo Dell Road, East Liverpool, was charged with illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, a second-degree felony punishable by up to eight years in prison. The indictment alleged he knowingly manufactured or engaged in the production of the drug methamphetamine, also known as meth, on Sept. 9.

He was initially charged in East Liverpool Municipal Court after drug agents searched his mobile home at Echo Dell Mobile Home Park and found an alleged active meth lab operation.

Marcus Kidder, 32, of 115 E. Sixth St., East Liverpool, was charged with illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs, a third-degree felony, for allegedly possessing one or more chemicals that can be used in the making of meth on June 12 during a traffic stop in East Liverpool. A police officer had received a tip that an individual with outstanding warrants was inside a vehicle headed into the city. When the car was stopped, police found a still smouldering bag containing chemicals used to make meth, a previous published report said.

Carol McClellan, 43,of 779 Eighth Ave., East Liverpool, was charged with complicity to illegal manufacture of drugs, a second-degree felony, for allegedly helping another person in the illegal making of meth on June 12. The other person, identified as Scott Barnhart, was charged in June through county Municipal Court for possessing chemicals used to manufacture illegal drugs. An active meth lab was found in a house trailer on Mill Street in Salineville in June, according to a previous published report.

McClellan was also charged with illegal conveyance of drugs onto the ground of a detention facility, a third-degree felony, and possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony, after allegedly being caught with crack cocaine at the county jail on July 30.
