FRANKLIN, Pa. (EYT) — A Franklin woman is facing charges stemming from an investigation that allegedly connected her to a “one-pot” methamphetamine lab.

According to court documents, the Franklin Police Department filed criminal charges against 27-year-old Amanda Michelle Yingling, of Franklin.

She was arraigned at 9:00 p.m. on May 17 Magisterial District Judge Patrick E. Lowrey on the following charges:

– Operating a Methamphetamine Lab, Felony 2
– Deposits, Stores, Disposes Chemical Waste, Felony 3
– Operation of Methamphetamine Lab, Felony 2

Unable to post $10,000.00 monetary bail, Yingling was lodged in the Venango County Jail.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on May 23 in Venango County Central Court.

According to a criminal complaint, around 12:35 p.m. on February 25, Franklin Police responded to a report of a possible drug act violation in which the caller came in contact with suspected components in the manufacturing of methamphetamine.

Police arrived on the scene and observed materials, precursors, and chemicals that are believed to be used on the “one-pot” method of a methamphetamine lab in the caller’s trash area in a white trash bag located on Chestnut Street, Franklin.

After the suspected meth lab was collected and broken down, a receipt for the purchase of precursors was located amongst the materials in the bag in which documentation allegedly tied Amanda Yingling — who lives on Chestnut Street, according to the complaint.
