The purchase of lye and other items led to a man's arrest for operating a methamphetamine lab, according to the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office. Neighbors living near the Northside Drive East apartment told investigators they had smelled odd odors during the previous days, which were likely the result of a meth lab operated by Danny Ray Berry, 39, who also is listed as having an address of Huggins Crossing Road in Brooklet, Sheriff Lynn Anderson said. Wednesday, Bulloch County Drug Suppression Team investigators "received information that a white male, later identified as Danny Ray Berry, was in the process of purchasing components used to manufacture methamphetamine, specifically lye," Anderson said.
