Ashley Williams considers himself the hand gun specialist of Alamo. However, when he got word that one of his vacant properties in town was no longer vacant, he went from gun specialist to detective. “The neighbor across the street called and asked who I rented this house to. I told him I did not rent the house to anybody. He said someone moved in about a month ago so I came to check on it,” Williams said. Williams found Christopher Parker, 33, of Alamo and April Davis, 31, of Bells occupying his residence. Williams said he also found a number of meth making products. “It was a surprise to me,” he said. Alamo Police Officer James Weaver was called to the scene and confirmed what Williams had found. Weaver said finding a working meth lab within the city limits has never happened before. “To my knowledge this would be our first,” said Weaver. Parker and Davis face charges of possession of meth making products, burglary and criminal trespassing. However, officers said more charges may soon follow. “We were in the closet and their was a board loose, we looked behind it and we found a Gatorade bottle with what apparently was meth,” said Williams. “For Sale” signs now sit on Williams’ property, but police believe if it was not for neighbors looking out for neighbors, the meth lab may have never been detected. “It really makes me feel pretty good to get this stuff off the street,” Weaver said. Parker and Davis remain behind bars at the Crockett County Jail. Officers said the two could face felony charges of possession of meth if the substance found in the house tests positive for meth.
