Dayton woman offers meth lab to neighbors

DAYTON, Ohio —

Not many neighbors wanted what a woman offered them when she moved out of her apartment.

According to a police report obtained Sunday, neighbors discovered a meth lab left behind by Samantha Montgomery in apartment 272-2 at 15 Gilbert Avenue Saturday night. Montgomery told her neighbors she was moving to Texas, and they were free to take anything they wanted out of her apartment except the appliances.

A resident of the neighborhood flagged down police to investigate the apartment after he heard children who had been in the residence say there was "crystal meth everywhere" within. Officers asked the building's other occupants to evacuate the building after hazardous materials were discovered in the apartment.

A detective wearing protective gear removed a generator attached to medical tubing and turned it over to a hazmat team for safe disposal. Other witnesses told police even more materials associated with the production of methamphetamines were in the basement, but those items were gone before police could remove them safely.

A person who works for the building's landlord supplied officers with documents and information that led them to believe Montgomery was headed for the Greyhound bus station in Trotwood. Dayton and Trotwood officers were sent to the bus station but could not find Montgomery.
