The Fountain Inn Police Department was evacuated overnight after materials - believed to have been used to produce meth - made some personnel ill.
Police Chief Keith Morton says they made an arrest under a new law in South Carolina that allows prosecution against people who have just the supplies for a meth lab.
Morton says when the evidence was returned to the police station - on North Main Street - people started feeling sick. The chief says there were fumes from past cookings on the items that were seized.
The Department of Health and Environmental Control evacuated the building until 6:30am. DHEC workers are there Thursday morning to clean and change air filters.
We were told earlier this morning that the Greenville County Sheriff's Office was assisting in the investigation. We've not been told the location where the materials were found.
