Couple accused of cooking meth in camper

A Russellville man and woman are in jail after officers found items used in the production of meth inside a camper.

Investigators with the Franklin County Sheriff’s office said Crystal Darlene Gosa, 31, and Michael Ervin Frost, 32, of Frost Lane in Russellville were taken into custody Monday afternoon.

Gosa is charged with attempted manufacturing of a controlled substance and Frost was transported to Marion County where he has been indicted on child abuse and domestic violence assault charges.

Authorities said Marion County law enforcement officials picked up Frost shortly after the arrest was made.

Investigators said Gosa cooperated with deputies and showed them the location of chemicals in the camper and a burn pile behind the residence.

Gosa is out on a $2500 bond.

Frost is being held by Marion County officials for his indictments.
