AG shuts down Pennsylvania drug lab with arrest of parents — $200K in narcotics found

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — A DMT and THC drug lab in Pennsylvania was shut down after two parents were arrested for running it — and the children were at home.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry announced the arrests of Drew Divelbliss, 36, and Lauren Divelbliss, 40, after a raid on their home in Eighty Four, Washington County on Monday, July 22.

Henry said an investigation of a large-scale manufacturing lab producing DMT, Psilocybin mushrooms and THC products led to the arrests. A search of the residence found $200,000 in illegal narcotics and $300,000 in vacuum-sealed cash, along with a series of rooms in the house used for the operation.

In all, agents seized about 1,500 grams of DMT — a strong psychedelic with a similar structure to Psilocybin mushrooms — valued at $150,000; 300 grams of THC shatter (valued at $45,000); Psilocybin mushrooms; hundreds of packages of THC edibles; 10 pounds of marijuana; and approximately $300,000 cash in vacuum-sealed bags.

According to a release, two children were also found at their home, which contained dangerous drug-making chemicals.
