About 1,000 pills of Pseudoephedrine are typically used to cook meth. The following information was supplied by the Stow Police Department.
Recently a Stow Police report filed because someone purchased Pseudoephedrine three times within the last 30 consecutive days at Walmart. More than 9 grams of the over-the-counter drug were purchased. Unlawful purchasing of Pseudoephedrine is a first-degree misdemeanor. When customers buy these products with the drug in it, an ID is required and names are documented. Police Lt.

Thanks to a tip from Stow resident, Stow Police said they found the man they have been searching for since December for manufacturing methamphetamines.

What started out as a call about an attempted burglary turned out to be a discovery of drugs and materials to make methamphetamines in a bookbag police say belongs to a man who had a warrant out in Kent. Stow Police responded to a call of an attempted burglary at 2359 Graham Rd. Thursday evening around 11:30 p.m. Someone attempted to force entry through the front door of the residence, according to police.
