-A man arrested in connection with a meth lab that was discovered in a Melrose home in Jackson County appeared in Jackson County Court for a preliminary hearing on Friday.According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, they, along with several other agencies, executed a search warrant at a home in Melrose, which is south of Black River Falls, back in April. They discovered several “one-pot” meth labs along with meth manufacturing materials.
The “one-pot” labs are very dangerous because they easily explode or catch fire. The Melrose Fire Department was called in as a precaution. The home belonged to James Schlifer who had been charged with several meth related counts. Probable cause was found during his preliminary hearing so his court proceedings will continue. His signature bond was also adjusted down to $2,000.
