When Ocean Springs Police spotted a car with a broken windshield, they never thought it would lead them to a meth lab.

Police pulled the car over Tuesday morning. The driver told them someone was making meth in a room at the nearby Sundown Motel.

Officers went to the room and noticed a strong odor. They obtained a search warrant. Inside, police found a working meth lab.

Police arrested Richard Ricks II of Huntsville and Jacqueline Nixon of Gulfport. Both are charged with manufacturing of a controlled substance within 1500 ft. of a school, and possession with intent to distribute. If convicted, Ricks and Nixon face up to 60 years in prison and $2 million in fines.

Ricks and Nixon are also wanted for questioning in a recent meth lab explosion in Biloxi.

KxVx , that is so true or rape one and walk in the front door of the jail and right back out the back.

60 years in prison for making meth, but you can molest children and not even serve 10 years.

Had the housekeeping staff at the motel not noticed anything suspicious?
