CARTHAGE, Mo. — A midnight raid Thursday by the Jasper County sheriff’s SWAT team netted four arrests in an alleged methamphetamine manufacturing operation, according to a release from the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department.

At 12:20 a.m., officers raided a home at 11325 Kafir Road, and allegedly uncovered an active meth lab, drugs and drug paraphernalia.

Arrested were two Carthage men, ages 41 and 34; a Joplin woman age 41; and an Oklahoma City man, age 48.

All four individuals were transported to the Jasper County Jail in Carthage, but had been charged as of Friday afternoon.
