Three people were charged Thursday following an investigation into a methamphetamine lab.

Police said they found an active meth lab in a home in the 600 block of East South Street Tuesday. Officials said the lab was hidden behind some Christmas presents in the basement of the home.

A 4-year-old child inside the home tested positive for methamphetamine. That child and two others, ages 2 and 6, were taken from the home and later released to a family member.

Harold B. Harris, 21, of Kirklin, and Jeremiah P. Fearrin, 25, of Lebanon, were charged with dealing in methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine, both felonies.

Bernice Rood, of Lebanon, was also arrested Wednesday on a probation violation charge stemming from the incident. She was being held in the Boone County Jail on a $50,000 bond.

Police said other arrests and charges are pending.
