Two people were jailed Thursday night on allegations they were manufacturing methamphetamine in their Liberty Township home.

On Thursday, detectives with the McKean County Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at the 195 Lower Portage Road residence of Rory D. Ford, 35, and Patricia Larson, 32, according to District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer.

According to Shaffer, “The detectives discovered an active rolling meth lab upon entry to the residence. Agents with the PA State Attorney General and PA State Police Clandestine Lab team processed the scene for safety reasons.”

In the home, the team discovered prepared methamphetamine and numerous items used in making meth, she said.

Shaffer noted that the Port Allegany Ambulance and Fire Department were on standby during the search.

Ford and Larson were arraigned before District Judge William Todd and committed to McKean County Jail in lieu of $60,000 each.

They are charged with manufacturing or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver methamphetamine and two counts of possessing precursor with intent to manufacture a controlled substance, all felonies; operating a meth lab, a second-degree felony; two counts of operating a meth lab and illegal dumping of methamphetamine waste, all third-degree felonies; possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, misdemeanors; two counts of illegal dumping of methamphetamine waste, third-degree felonies; operation of meth lab, a second-degree felony; and conspiracy to manufacture meth, a felony.

“The District Attorney’s Office has received numerous complaints from local residents about illegal drug activity,” Shaffer noted.

Ford and Larson are scheduled to appear in Central Court on Thursday.

“To report suspected illegal drug activity, contact the McKean County Drug Task Force at the District Attorney’s Office at (814) 887-3312 or MCDTFtip@gmail.com,” Shaffer reminded residents.
