Man arrested after trying to buy meth making materials

dtf logo 2A Salina man is arrested Thursday after his name appeared for the second time this year on a national logging system that tracks the purchase of pseudoephedrine. I-135/I-70 Drug Task Force Commander, Lt. Bill Cox said 32-year-old Matthew Brewer was arrested after he gave consent to search his home, where a small amount of meth and methamphetamine making materials were found in the home.

Brewer’s name appeared on the National Precursor Log Exchange Thursday for the second time since late May after he tried to by pseudoephedrine , but was not able to do so.

In May a small amount of meth, along with two handguns, and materials to make meth were located. Brewer was not arrested at that time, but samples were sent to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation for testing.

Lt. Cox said Kansas law allows a person to buy up to 9grams of pseudoephedrine each month. It is found in pills used to treat allergies. A single box of the medication contains 2.4grams. When purchased a persons ID is placed in the national logging system to keep track of their purchases.

Cox said the investigation continues and further arrest are possible.
