From The Daily Oklahoman:

Darla Hugaboom’s home on five acres north of Arcadia is spacious, clean, quiet and safe. But it came with a dirty past.

Police raided the house in 2004 and arrested the then-owner on drug complaints. They found more than 440 pounds of chemicals used to make methamphetamine and a once beautiful home in a filthy state of neglect.

It’s not uncommon. The state Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control estimates there are about 200,000 properties in the state where meth was once made.

Dozens of states have laws requiring meth lab contamination cleanup. Oklahoma doesn’t.

Read the rest.
