Authorities in Summerville, South Carolina arrested two individuals on Thursday after finding a meth lab at an area Economy Inn.
Local television station WCIV reports that after receiving complaints about prostitution at the hotel, officers responded to the scene and knocked on the door of one of the rooms, which happened to smell like marijuana.
Upon entering the room, the officers confirmed the smell and saw a plastic bag containing the drug. A further search of the room found pseudoephedrine, a common ingredient in meth, inside a pill pack. Authorities then went into the room's bathroom and found other meth-making ingredients.
Authorities arrested and charged Holly Earlene Mahon, 39, and Zachary Allen Kerr, 25, with manufacturing meth. In addition to the meth charge, Kerr was also cited for marijuana possession.
