A Salisbury man remains behind bars after he was arrested following a meth lab bust at the home he rented with a West Bank Street couple.
Salisbury Police charged Trampas Lee Money, 43, of the 1100 block of West Bank Street, with maintaining a dwelling for controlled substances, possession of a controlled substance schedule I, possession of an immediate precursor chemical, five counts manufacturing a controlled substance schedule I, and possession of drug paraphernalia, all of which are felonies.
