Longmont hazmat officers on Thursday inventoried and secured a box of chemicals retrieved from an Allenspark man’s home after he was arrested Tuesday outside of a Longmont ACE Hardware when employees there reported he appeared to be stockpiling the supplies needed for a PCP lab.
Cmdr. Jeff Satur said Thursday that Trevan Lake’s parents turned over the box of chemicals and glassware following their son’s arrest, his second in two years at the Longmont store on suspicion of preparing to build a drug lab.
Lake pleaded guilty in September 2010 to buying all of the supplies he needed to build a methamphetamine lab at the same ACE Hardware where he was arrested Tuesday. In that plea deal with prosecutors, his felony conviction would have been removed from his record if he stayed out of legal trouble and followed a therapy plan. Boulder County Judge David Archuleta told Lake at the time that the plea deal was “a golden opportunity to get back on track.”
Police were called to the store on Main Street on Tuesday on a report that Lake was in the store and had bought all the chemicals he would need to manufacture PCP.
