Samuel Henry Repynek Jr., 39, of S. Seventh Street, Emmaus, was arrested and jailed on charges related to his alleged operation of a meth lab in Lower Saucon Township.

An Emmaus man who became nervous about a meth lab he was allegedly operating in a rented barn in the 2500 block of Applebutter Road, Lower Saucon Township, was arrested by members of the Bethlehem Police Department and the Northampton County Drug Task Force, who had received a tip in the wake of a Hellertown meth lab bust Tuesday, according to an article published by the Express-Times which cites court records.
