(UALR Public Radio) -

A new "shake and bake" method for making crystal methamphetamine has made its way into Arkansas. Authorities say the process, also called the "one-pot" method, involves pouring a volatile mix of chemicals and pseudoephedrine into a soft drink bottle and shaking up the ingredients to produce the highly addictive drug. Poinsett County Sheriff Larry Mills says law officers in Jonesboro, Trumann and Harrisburg are finding these type of meth labs. But Mills says the new labs are easier to conceal, with people possibly driving around making meth.
