Firefighters suspected a meth lab shorty after they arrived and contacted the Penobscot Sheriff's Office. The MDEA meth lab team was also called and found the makings of a lab inside. He said, arrested was 52 year old Kelly L. Moore who lived in the apartment and charged with Class A Aggravated Operation of a Meth Lab. The charge was aggravated due to the fact that this was a multi unit building. Moore was taken to the Penobscot County Jail.
