Two people were arrested after deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office found a mobile meth lab.

Early Tuesday morning while searching for a possible robbery suspect, a deputy found a vehicle in the Ramblewood Apartment Complex with two people passed out inside.

Reports stated the deputy also saw a hypodermic needle in the center console. He was able to wake both of the people inside the vehicle, and as they got out, the deputy also noticed a plastic bag with white powder in the door and an active one pot meth lab.
