CHENOA, Ky. — Four individuals were taken into custody on Friday, following a meth lab bust in Chenoa by Bell County Sheriff’s deputies.
Unfortunately, meth lab raids are becoming commonplace in the news. The surprising factor in this incident? One of the individuals arrested is eight-months pregnant.
Natasha Partin, 21, of Pineville, was charged in this incident with manufacturing meth and first degree wanton endangerment. The sheriff’s department reports that Partin is currently eight-months pregnant. The meth lab was active at the time of the raid.
Also taken into custody and charged with manufacturing meth and first degree wanton endangerment is Natasha Partin’s mother, Tina Partin, a 41-year-old Pineville woman.
James Daniels, 24, of Pineville, was arrested in the incident and charged with manufacturing meth, first degree wanton endangerment and the possession of meth. Matthew Baker, 20, of Pineville, was also charged with manufacturing meth and first degree wanton endangerment.
The raid on this active meth lab is the result of a year-long investigation by the Bell County Sheriff’s Department. The individuals arrested were taken into custody without incident. Officers who assisted in this case: Deputy BJ Brock, Deputy Carl Frith, K-9 Canto, Deputy Doug Jordan, Deputy Jimmy Stewart, Pineville Police Dept. (PPD) Ptl. Jason Carmack, PPD Ptl. Jason Williams and PPD Ptl. Kenny Shaw.
An arrest is an accusation only. All individuals arrested are considered innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
The meth effect
Meth trafficking and production is dangerous from start to finish. The generally reckless practices of the manufacturers can result in explosions and fires that injure or kill not only the people and families involved, but also law enforcement or fireman who respond. Any number of solvents, precursors and hazardous agents are found in unmarked containers at these sites. These potent chemicals can enter the central nervous system and cause neural damage, effect the liver and kidneys, and burn or irritate the skin, eyes and nose.
Environmental damage is another consequence of manufacturing the drug.
Each pound of meth produced leaves behind five or six pounds of toxic waste. Meth cooks often pour leftover chemicals and byproduct sludge down drains in nearby plumbing, storm drains, or directly onto the ground. Chlorinated solvents and other toxic byproducts used to make meth pose long-term hazards because they can persist in soil and groundwater for years. Clean-up costs are exorbitant because solvent-contaminated soil usually must be incinerated.
Cleanups of meth labs are extremely resource-intensive and beyond the financial capabilities of most jurisdictions. The average cost of a cleanup is about $5,000, but some cost as much as $150,000.
Methamphetamine is a powerful central nervous system stimulant. The drug works directly on the brain and spinal cord by interfering with normal neurotransmission. Neurotransmitters are chemical substances naturally produced within nerve cells used to communicate with each other and send messages to influence and regulate our thinking and all other systems throughout the body.
In all forms, the drug stimulates the central nervous system, with effects lasting anywhere from four to 24 hours. Methamphetamine use can not only modify behavior in an acute state, but after taking it for a long time, the drug literally changes the brain in fundamental and long-lasting ways.
The short- and long-term effects on health from using methamphetamines are numerous. A few of the long-term effects: Fatal kidney and lung disorders, brain damage, liver damage, blood clots, chronic depression, hallucinations, violent and aggressive behavior, malnutrition, disturbed personality development, deficient immune system, and methamphetamine psychosis, a mental disorder that may be paranoid psychosis or may mimic schizophrenia. It kills by causing heart failure, brain damage, and stroke and it induces extreme, acute psychiatric and psychological symptoms that may lead to suicide or murder.
The consequence of using meth while pregnant? Babies can be born methamphetamine addicted and suffer birth defects, low birth weight, tremors, excessive crying, attention deficit disorder, and behavior disorders.

Congratulations to the Bell County Sheriff's Office for ending this lab and arresting the people without having to hurt anyone.

All of these humans need to be helped, first get them off drugs, try them for criminal offenses, give the young woman care for her pregnancy and find a good home for the baby. Drug rehabilitation, mental health help, jobs, jobs, jobs, education, education, education. Prayers for all the misery because that is what drugs represents... especially meth... misery.

They certainly need to make examples of these two.Take her child away with no chance of getting it back(never let her know where it's at )and giving them both life.

If these women only knew what drugs and alcohol do to these tiny babies. The years and years of pain involved. I adopted to babies both with drugs and alcohol in their system at birth. The twitches, mood swings, irritableness, crying and screaming, the heart stopping, babies forgetting to breath, learning disabilities, for what a good high! The tears and heartache of seeing these precious babies of mine going through this at no fault of mine. For your baby's sake, either give it up or let a good adoptive parent raise this child because we are only going to see a third generation druggie, like mother like daughter. Very very sad!

Maybe they will all get shock probation.
