Payne County Sees State's Largest Meth Bust Ever

Perkins -

Authorities are calling a major meth bust in Payne County the largest in Oklahoma history.

The Payne County District Attorney's office charged James Tyler Coon, 20, with more than 120 crimes Thursday, including 119 counts of Endeavoring to Manufacture the Controlled Dangerous Substance Methamphetamine Within 2000 feet of a Child Care Facility and one count of Trafficking Illegal Drugs.

Authorities say Coon was cooking meth and selling it. When investigators searched the property, inside an abandoned home they found hundreds of plastic bottles that Coon was allegedly using to make the drug.

Prosecutors say this is the largest meth lab bust in the state's history.

The sheriff's office says Coon was making the meth at the home for the past year.

Coon is being held on a $1 million bond and is expected back in court Friday afternoon.
