SHERMAN TWP. — Travis Michael Shaull, 27, 3763 E. Sugar Grove Rd., Sherman Twp., was arrested on charged of manufacturing methamphetamine and operating/maintaining a laboratory involving methamphetamine, during a search of his home on Monday, April 27.

Shaull reportedly fled from SSCENT detectives during a search warrant at the property but was quickly apprehended and arrested on charges. He was arraigned Tuesday afternoon in 79th District Court and is being held at the Mason County Jail on a $50,000 full bail. A preliminary examination in district court is scheduled for May 13 at 11:15 a.m.

“Upon executing the search warrant, a 27-year-old Custer man fled out the rear of an outbuilding,” a State Sheriffs Chiefs Enforcement Narcotics Team press release stated. “The male was quickly apprehended and has been lodged in the Mason County Jail. During the execution of the search warrant, several items used in the production of methamphetamine were located inside of the home.”

Meth production involves the use of hazardous materials and requires specially-trained technicians to clean up the site. Members of the Michigan State Police Methamphetamine Enforcement Team responded to the scene to dismantle the laboratory and remove the hazardous materials from the residence.

SSCENT detectives were assisted by the Central Michigan Enforcement Team (CMET), troopers from the Michigan State Police Hart Post, the canine unit of the Mason County Sheriff’s Department and the Fountain Area Fire Department.
