Mother-Son Bonding Ended When Police Busted Them For Making, Selling Meth

Authorities encourage mother-son bonding - as long as it's legal.

Donna Knope, 55, her son Jason Knope, 32, were allegedly busted for cooking meth in their Florida home after butt-dialing 911 when "talking about making and selling methamphetamine," unknowingly for a half hour, according to a police report.

The operator was able to hear the whole conversation, including a bubbling sound in the background (as if something was cooking), reports Daily Mail.

When police arrived at the house where the call came from, they noticed white smoke coming out of the shed-turned-meth lab.

The shed had all of the makings of a meth lab - including coffee filters, a butane torch, batteries, drain opener, plastic tubing, hypodermic needles, lithium strips, lighter fluid, plastic bags and numerous plastic bottles containing a white substance, reports The Smoking Gun.

Donna and Jason were both charged with manufacture and possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell or deliver.

A third person - who doesn't appear to be related to the Knopes - Thomas Stallings, 41, was at the scene and arrested also for manufacturing and possessing methamphetamine. Before this arrest, Stallings was already on probation for burgalary charges.
