I spent most of the night working on a story that will run in a few days and a story about a meth bust up in New Hampshire, with some locals involved.

If you recognize the names of Phillips and Beaulieu, it's because they were both arrested in June of 2005, when Chelmsford Police found a meth lab at 56 Groton Road.

Phillips had a lab setup in his mom's basement, and Beaulieu was busted at the scene with some meth on him.

Phillips got a 2 to 3 year sentence for that whole deal in 2007, so the fact that he was already out of jail must mean he got some credit for time served.

The DEA still tells me meth isn't a very big problem around here compared to heroin and Oxycontin, though it can be found.

Oddly, they said heroin and Oxycontin really aren't much of a problem in some parts of the midwest where meth is just out of control.

Check the paper for a lot more on this story tomorrow.
