METAIRIE, La. -- Investigators have arrested three people and the probe is expanding after chemicals were seized Tuesday in what officials are calling the largest drug lab bust in the history of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
Edward Barton, 27, Natalie Barton, 25, and Christopher Durel, 26, face charges that include possession with intent to distribute an illegal substance, possession of a controlled substance and operating an illegal lab.
Tuesday at about 10:30 p.m., agents with the DEA and the Jefferson Parish Narcotics Unit, and members of the Jefferson Parish Fire Department and the U.S. Postal Inspector's Office confiscated more than a dozen containers from the home in the 4700 block of Tabony Street in Metairie. Hazardous materials crews were then brought in to help clear out the house.
Investigators said the Bartons were selling the substance GBL -- a precursor to the date rape drug GHB -- out of the home and over the Internet (http://liquidresearch.com/) . The Bartons allegedly were operating under the company name NuRave Inc.
In addition to the chemicals, agents also seized marijuana from the home, Sheriff Harry Lee said.
The Bartons have a 3-year-old daughter, who was present during the raid. She was placed in the custody of relatives.
Investigators are analyzing computer data and customer lists seized in the raid, and more charges may be forthcoming.
Neighbors told WDSU NewsChannel 6 reporter Heath Allen that the residents of the home were new to the neighborhood, were friends of the homeowner and had moved in a couple of months ago. Neighbors said a man who lives at the home made his living selling a growth hormone.
