Officers put the skids on what is being called the largest shake and bake meth operation ever discovered in LaFollette.

On Monday the LaFollette Police Department received information regarding a possible meth lab in progress at 328 Camp Ridge Road.  According to Lt. Jeff Allen, the area has a history of drug activity.

As the officers went to investigate the lab, Darryl Willard Riggs, Sr., who resides at the Camp Ridge Road address, was picked up during a traffic stop on an outstanding warrant.

Last week, the city of LaFollette and one of its citizens were jointly sued by Tommye and Jess Ogg.

The Ogges are alleging negligence on the part of the city and Amanda Lawson for a traffic accident Tommye Ogge was involved in earlier this year.

They are asking for $100,000 in damages.

Tommye Ogge and Lawson were both traveling on Hemlock Street in LaFollette when the two were involved in a traffic accident.
