GOUVERNEUR -- Gouverneur police say they arrested a man after he left two one-pot meth labs behind in the Stewart's bathroom and allegedly found two more they say he left behind near Price Chopper.
Eric J. Fuller, 35, of Gouverneur was arrested at 7:09 p.m. Sunday and charged with unlawful disposal of methamphetamine material, second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and two counts of unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine, all felonies, police said.
Gouverneur village police say around 5:55 p.m. Sunday, they got a report from the manager at Stewart's Shops, 242 East Main St., that a one-pot meth lab was discovered in the store's bathroom. New York State Police Contaminated Crime Scene Emergency Response Team and Gouverneur Fire Department were called to the scene. They located the one-pot on a sink and also found a second one-pot discarded in the bathroom garbage, police said.
Police say they spotted a suspect on surveillance video and began to search for him.
They say a state police patrol found the suspect walking on Sterling Street but noticed he was no longer wearing a backpack they saw him with on the surveillance video.
Police say he told police he left the backpack behind Price Chopper, 389 East Main St., and they along with NYSCCERT responded around 7:10 p.m. Investigators say they found a spent one-pot in the backpack and an active one-pot nearby.
Fuller was also charged on a bench warrant for failure to appear on a fourth-degree grand larceny charge in Fowler Town Court.
He was arraigned in Gouverneur Town Court by Justice Travis Dann and remanded to the St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, without bail on the drug charges and in lieu of $250 bail on the grand larceny count.
