Ind. Courts - More on: Evansville lawyer sentenced in misdemeanor case

Updating this ILB entry from March 13th, Gavin Lesnick of the Evansville Courier & Press reports today:

Police said they discovered a meth lab Thursday night in the law office of an Evansville attorney who recently was sentenced to treatment for an earlier drug-related offense.

Brad Happe, 30, is facing preliminary charges of dealing meth-amphetamine and possession of precursors after police raided his law office and reportedly found materials used to make methamphetamine inside. * * *

Police confiscated suspected anhydrous ammonia, pseudoephedrine tablets, lithium batteries, sulfuric acid and other items commonly associated with manufacturing meth, Althoff said.

This arrest comes a little more than a month after Happe was sentenced on a misdemeanor charge after an arrest for visiting a common nuisance.

In that April 2006 incident police, found him outside a home where a meth lab was discovered.

Happe was ordered into a treatment program and was due to appear in court June 14 to review his progress.
