Delaware State Police are searching for a man accused of manufacturing methamphetamine in his mother’s house.

On Sunday morning, a woman in Felton, Del., called the police reporting a toxic substance on her property. The woman told police that she had been collecting laundry to wash when she found a rag sticking out of a cooler in her son’s bedroom. She pulled the rag from the cooler, became overwhelmed by fumes and then quickly dragged the cooler outside onto a porch, she said.
