Brandi Favre in prison after methamphetamine laboratory raid

The Associated Press accounts that Brandi Favre, younger sibling to presently retired National Football League star Brett Favre, was arrested in her Diamondhead, Miss., home. According to Hancock County Sheriff’s Maj. Matt Karl, Brandi Favre, 34, faces accusations of manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance, transport of a controlled substance and creating hazardous waste. Brandi Favre and four others were taken in handcuffs from her upscale condo on Golf Club Drive in Diamondhead. She most likely will not need a cash advance to make bail.

Meth wasn't done by Brandi Favre alone

When the Hancock County Narcotics Task Force came to determine Brandi Favre, her neighbors weren't surprised although Diamondhead is a quiet community normally. After a sting outside Diamondhead, investigators were led to the location where the meth, a highly addictive stimulant, was being produced, said task force director Karl to WLBT3 NBC. This prompted the narcotics unit to evacuate seven units nearby, as crystal meth production can easily cause an explosion with the flammable evaporated solvents released in production. There was a lot of drug found by authorities. It was all finished too.

"We discovered the full lab in the bathroom; it was still cooking. I think we collected pretty close to 10 grams (worth about $1,000) of finished product, which, that’s a lot of meth,” said Karl.

Others arrested in connection to meth ring

David Logan, Marty Grimes, Alesha Kirkland and Carl Wynn III were all arrested with Brandi Favre. Suspects range in age from 25 to 53. Previously, Favre had been arrested. Incidents involved a drive by shooting where she was charged with unlawful use of a weapon along with felony shoplifting.

The current mug shot of Brandi Favre isn't the first as Karl explained saying, "she's always in trouble," to MSNBC.

Since there are already difficulties with the Jenn Sterger ordeal along with the Brandi Favre issues, possibly it is a good thing that Brett Favre retired.

Restricting cold medicine sales creates lucrative crystal meth market

Crystal meth became a lucrative black market drug after federal laws restricted the sale of cold medicines containing pseudoephedrine, reports Impact Lab. This in turn has created what the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration calls a "sub-criminal culture" in which someone like Brandi Favre can turn $1,000 in profit from less than 10 grams of meth.
