A Maine man has been accused of turning a children’s playroom at a Methodist church into a meth lab, investigators said.
Matthew Anderson, 33, was arrested after police responded to a “suspicious activity” complaint at the Buxton United Methodist Church on Thursday, the Buxton Police Department wrote on Facebook.

Officers then called the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency (MDEA) to help assist in the investigation.
