A Bossier City woman was arrested by agents with the Caddo-Shreveport Narcotics Unit today after she was found operating a meth lab at a casino hotel, said Sheriff Steve Prator and Police Chief Willie Shaw.

Authorities were called to the hotel at 315 Clyde Fant Memorial Parkway after a fire alarm was activated on the 14th floor. Agents say the alarm sounded because of smoke from two suspects cooking meth in their hotel room.

Agents found an old lab inside the room and two active labs along with the components needed to make meth hidden in an air conditioning vent.  

Agents arrested Dawn Meredith, 30, of the 2000 block of Oakley in Bossier City, and charged her with creation and operation of a clandestine lab and criminal property damage.

Authorities say their investigation is continuing. They are looking for at least one more suspect who fled from the scene.
