Several people are behind bars in one Eastern Kentucky after police searched a home and found a meth lab and ingredients to make meth.

State Police got a call around five o'clock Saturday evening to respond to a home off Old State Road in Lily. That's where they found a meth lab with seven adults and two children inside the home.

The individuals in custody are Earl Yaden, Tina Nantz, Jeremy Jones, David Jones, Dion Mayne all from Lily. Brittany Yaden of East Bernstadt and Kenneth Taylor are also behind bars after police discovered the active meth lab with children inside.

“They responded out there and located a meth lab, components used to make meth and located some controlled substance,” Trooper Fred Pennington with the London Post says.

One man, who now has custody of one of the children, was shocked to hear about the meth lab.

“I was very surprised,” He says. “I had no idea something like this was going on. The child, he's okay. He wasn't hurt. He was in there for just a few minutes before they came in.”

The man also knows the people who own the trailer, who rented to the people who were arrested.

“My sister owns the trailer with my brother in law,” He says. “They don't know how they're going to get it decontaminated.”

Trooper Pennington says police get tips from members of the community about suspected meth labs.

“We'll respond to the scene where they think it is,” Pennington says. “Talk to the people there and do a little investigation and determine if there are items there.”

Four of the individuals in custody are charged with manufacturing meth but all seven are charged with substance endangerment to a child. They are all being housed in the Laurel County Detention Center.

Kentucky State Police were assisted by the Laurel County Sheriff's Office, the Laurel County Department of Public Safety and the Department of Families and Children.
