</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[On March 31, 2011, Chester Police arrested two more in connection with the March 17th Meth Lab seizure. Police have arrested 44-year-old Laura Lailer and 30-year-old Emily Albaugh both of Chester. Both have been charged with Aggravated Participation in Methamphetamine Production (in excess of 900 grams), a class X Felony.

Chester Police have charged these individuals based on their alleged participation in Chambers' production of methamphetamine.

These latest arrests bring the total to six in connection to last week's raid of Chambers' home in Chester. In that raid, Police seized over 1600 grams of substances containing methamphetamine. Those arrested at that time were 46-year-old Virgil "Wayne" Chambers, who is currently incarcerated at the Randolph County Jail with a bond amount set at $200,000. Both David Roche and Amber Verville remain in custody at the Randolph County Jail as well with bonds set at $100,000 each. The fourth subject arrested, identified as Cathy Peeler, has since posted bond (10% of her $100,000 bond amount).

Deputy Chief Helmers says that additional arrests are still possible.
