The effects of methamphetamine on a person are obviously detrimental to a persons intelligence as demonstrated by two users in the St. Clair Missouri area.

Two men were reported to be acting suspiciously when they purchased drain cleaner from the Walmart in Union Tuesday, and that behavior eventually led to their arrests for methamphetamine manufacturing, the Franklin County Narcotics Enforcement Unit (FCNEU) said.

Employees at Walmart gave Union police the license plate number of the men's car after they left, the FCNEU said. The car was traced to a home at 863 Plum Road just outside St. Clair. At the home, authorities found an active meth lab, the FCNEU said.

The men had likely used the drain cleaner to make anhydrous ammonia, which in turn can be used to manufacture meth, according to the FCNEU. The men's names were not released, although, according to the FCNEU, one of the suspects was on federal probation.

The FCNEU said the two men were the same ones who called Franklin County Sheriff's deputies on Jan. 9 to report a crime. The crime they were reporting? Someone was making meth in their driveway.
