According the Loudon County Sheriff's Office, Friday, Jan. 22 at approximately 7 p.m. the Loudon County Narcotics Division and the Tennessee Department Of Children Services went to 984 Rady Town Rd. in Loudon County to remove what they described as "two drug endangered children" from the location. 

While at that location, investigators observed the side door of the house had been damaged from being kicked in. Investigators entered the home and observed several items laying in plain view that are used to manufacture meth and other drug paraphernalia about the house. No one was found in the house at that time. Investigators advised authorities in surrounding counties to be on the lookout for the suspects Ashley N. Jenkins and Nathan D. Johnson along with their two children who were possibly at an area motel. 

The Loudon County Patrol Division located a vehicle at the Inn of Lenoir motel in Lenoir City. After checking the Tennessee registration on the vehicle it was found not to be the Raby Town Road suspect but it was connected to two other suspects involved in another meth investigation by the Narcotics Division. The Sheriff's Office patrol deputy observed the vehicle leaving the motel and stopped the vehicle on Harmon Lane in Lenoir City.

During that traffic stop another meth lab was discovered in the trunk of that vehicle.  The department's reserve deputies were stationed at the Raby Town road location while the Narcotics Divvision investigators responded to the Harmon Lane location to investigate the mobile meth lab.

Found in the trunk of the vehicle was a cooking one-pot method meth lab.  Investigators interviewed Ashley McMahan and William Pappageorge who were the occupants of the vehicle.

During the interview it was discovered that while they were at the Inn of Lenoir in Room 237 they had manufactured meth with two other subjects. Deputies from the Patrol Division and Criminal Investigation Division went and secured the location. Two suspects were detained at that location, an Ashley K. Greenwood and Dustin Lee Webster. When deputies and investigators entered Room 237 they immediately had to exit the room due to the large amount of toxic fumes. 

 While investigating the Harmon Lane and Inn Of Lenoir Meth Labs the suspects from the Rady Town Road lab arrived home and were detained by deputies. 

The Loudon County Meth Response Team, which is made up of Deputies and investigators within the Loudon County Sheriff's Office, as well as Lenoir City Fire Department and Loudon County Fire and Rescue and Rural Metro EMS responded to the scenes. All the suspects involved with the three meth labs had to be decontaminated at the scene. 

Suspects arrested at the Inn of Lenoir were, Dustin L. Webster, a 24-year-old reportedly homeless man and Ashley K. Greenwood, 21, whose address was listed on Paw Paw Plains Road in Lenoir City. Greenwood also reported to officers that she is eight months pregnant.

Suspects arrested at the Harmon Lane location were William Pappageorge, 33, from Niota and Ashley N. McMahan, 23, of Paw Paw Plains Road Lenoir City. McMahan reported she is three months pregnant. 

Suspects arrest in the Raby Town Road lab include Ashley N. Jenkins, 24, of  Raby Town Road in Philadelphia included Nathan D. Johnson, 27, also of Raby Town Road and Matthew L. Faulkner, 28, of 12109 Big Sandy Road in Philadelphia. There were two children removed from Ashley Jenkins and Nathan Johnson, both children were under the age of six. 

According to the sheriff's department, all these suspects are facing meth-related charges and other drug charges. Ashley Jenkins and Nathan Johnson will also be charged with aggravated child abuse.
