CENTREVILLE — The Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics discovered a large quantity of methamphetamine ingredients at a Wilkinson County residence Thursday night.

“The number of reactions we found could easily produce more than a hundred grams of methamphetamine,” MBN Director Marshall Fisher said.

A gram of methamphetamine sells for about a hundred dollars on the street.
