Two people are behind bars after a meth investigation stretched into two Eastern Carolina counties.

During the process deputies and police found a meth lab in a motel.

Charles and Stacy Williams are facing multiple charges from both Jones and Lenoir counties.

Deputies say Charles Williams was arrested after they say he sold meth to an undercover investigator in the Wyse Fork area of Jones County after a three month investigation.

That led lawmen to a motel on U.S. 70 in Kinston where they found Stacy Williams. At the West Parke Inn they found an inactive portable meth lab in the bathroom.

The SBI and the fire department were called in to help clean up that lab.

Deputies say the two face additional charges in both counties.
