TOBY TWP., Pa (EYT) – Six additional arrests have been made in connection with the manufacturing and sale of methamphetamine in the Rimersburg area.
The charges were filed as part of a continuing investigation in which four individuals – Terry McIntyre, Derrick Fowler, Kayla Dunlap, and Chrystal Best – were previously arrested and taken into custody.
The persons charged are accused of “cooking” methamphetamine and supplying raw materials to methamphetamine producers.
According to a criminal complaint, Clarion County Probation Officers Kerle and Bloom were searching for a female who was wanted on a warrant and discovered her at 20 Best Road, in Rimersburg. When they entered a trailer at this location, there were three mason jars with white powder residue sitting in plain view. Officer Kerle questioned the subject female about what was in the mason jars, and she said it was meth residue. She also said that “Terry McIntyre and Justin McIntyre had been making methamphetamine on the property. She indicated that sometimes they would make it outside, and other times they would make it in different campers or trailers on the property.”
The complaint states that Officer Kerle also saw a one gallon white plastic bottle that was identified as the bottle that was used to “gas the meth.” Officer Kerle found plastic tubing and the cap to the gallon bottle in the bathroom. He also located a green plastic bottle that had a white chunky substance in it inside the bathroom.
The complaint indicates that “Terry McIntyre and Kayla Dunlap were passed out in a Ford van on the property, and Tonya Barger was in a camper trailer. Justin McIntyre, who is on state parole, came out of one of the mobile homes upon their arrival. A small vial with white powder residue was found in his pocket.”
As a result of his findings, Officer Kerle informed Clarion County Chief Detective William H. Peck and a PSP trooper, both of CNET, of a suspected methamphetamine lab on the property. A search warrant was obtained, and members of the Pennsylvania State Police Clandestine Lab team served the warrant, according to the complaint.
Several “one-pot” Methamphetamine labs, Methamphetamine oil, “gas generators,” Coleman fuel, pill grinders, silver vials with white residue, drain cleaner, Pseudoephedrine, and cut lithium batteries were discovered during the search. All of these items were located in several different locations at 20 Best Road. These items are commonly found in a “one-pot” or “shake-n-bake” Methamphetamine lab, the complaint states.
The following items were located in the van that Terry McIntyre and Kayla Dunlap were found passed out in:
one gallon of camp fuel, Ronsonal lighter fuel, Allergy Relief (15 tablets), two pill grinders with residue, pack of four AAA Energizer Ultimate Lithium Advance batteries (unopened), and metal containers with white residue.
During the investigation it was learned that the suspects – at various times – purchased Claritin D, a generic form of Pseudoephedrine, lithium batteries, cold compresses, Coleman fuel, and other items needed to manufacture Methamphetamine.
Additionally, a known individual told authorities that he/she witnessed “Justin McIntyre, Joseph McIntyre, Terry McIntyre, and Derick Fowler manufacture Methamphetamine.”
It was also learned that two children – ages one and three – were present when Methamphetamine was manufactured in a structure.
According to court documents, the following individuals are facing charges in connection with the investigation:

Clarion County District Attorney Mark Aaron Comments on Meth Bust
“The current high level of cooperation between the State Police Vice Unit and CNET has led to this successful investigation and arrests,” said Clarion County District Attorney Mark Aaron.
Aaron says the Pennsylvania State Police Vice Unit and CNET are continuing to work, not only on this investigation, but on the growing problem of methamphetamine manufacturing in Clarion County.
“At this point, methamphetamine production has equaled or surpassed heroin as the primary drug problem in Clarion County. Not only the use, but the production of methamphetamine is a process that is not only destructive to the individuals involved but is corrosive to the community at large,” said Aaron.
“Large amounts of toxic waste by-products are produced in methamphetamine manufacturing which becomes an environmental hazard to anyone in the vicinity of the lab. The illegal dumping of toxic waste by-products creates an environmental hazard and a hazard to the water supply,” Aaron continued.
Anyone encountering items that may have been used in methamphetamine manufacturing process, such as plastic soda bottles, tubing, or jars of liquid should steer clear of the area and notify either the State Police at 814-226-1710 or CNET at 814-226-4423.
