Turns out a large meth lab torn down inside a Cherokee County neighborhood after authorities got an odd tip from the landlord, isn't a meth lab after all.

According to WSB's Richard Sangster, the woman who owned the home on Eagle View Trace in Woodstock called 911 when she saw some suspicious items the tenant had left lying around inside the home.  Those items included brake fluid and acetone along with a piece of equipment designed to extract meth from the chemicals, Cherokee Co. Sheriff's Lt. Jay Baker, said.

The tenant is apparently is the woman's ex-husband.

Cherokee County narcotics units arrived late Wednesday night and determined those items were part of a meth lab operation.

Upon further analysis though, CMANS Commander Phil Price tells WSB it was not a meth lab.

"It's not an uncommon occurrence.  People, in spite of the evidence to the contrary, people still believe that there are a couple of methods out there that don't involve the use of ephedrine where you'll be able to make methamphetamine.  Those formulas just don't exist," said Price.

Price says they were using a method calaled the "Gun Bluing Pickle Jar" method.

"It's a variation and it just revolves around the crystallization of the chemicals that they use resulting in a crystal-looking substance. If you believe and you click your heels together, it might be methamphetamine, but it's not," said Price.

Since there was no ephedrine, a required ingredient to make meth found at the home, no charges will be filed.
