Police were called to a home on Heather Denise Court January 21 around 3 p.m. for a call related to a violation of order of protection. When officers arrived on scene, they found Christopher Hamilton, who had an order of protection and wasn’t supposed to be at the home.

Officers then spotted a woman coming out of a shed on the property. Inside they found an active one-pot meth lab and equipment associated with the meth manufacturing process.
