Edward Holmes Dover

DeKalb County deputies arrested a man this week for manufacturing methamphetamine after deputies found a meth lab while at a home to serve a warrant on earlier drug charges.

At about 7 p.m. Tuesday, deputies went to the DeKalb County Road 405 home of Edward Holmes Dover, 29, and saw Dover in a shed behind the home, according to a news release. When he saw the deputies, Dover ran behind the shed and hid underneath it.

The deputies arrested Dover on warrants issued by a grand jury in January for manufacturing and possession of a controlled substance, then called the drug task force, which found three "one-pot" meth labs in and around the shed, according to the news release.

He was also charged with another count of manufacturing a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Dover is being held in the DeKalb County Detention Center on $70,500 total bond.
