A Cattaraugus County meth lab has been shut down.

The Southern Tier Regional Drug Task force, working in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Agency in Buffalo, arrested 24-year-old Donald Johnson of Ischua and charged him with unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine.

Task force and DEA members seized lab equipment and items used in the production of meth from Johnson’s Yankee Hill Road home.

Johnson is in Cattaraugus County Jail in lieu of $20,000 cash bail following his arraignment by Judge Stephen Riley in Town of Ischua Court. Additional arrests and charges, including federal charges, are pending the completion of the investigation.

The task force and DEA were assisted by the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office, New York State Police K-9 Unit and the New York State Police Community Narcotics Enforcement Team (CNET). Also assisting at the scene were Cattaraugus County Emergency Services Unit and members of the Ischua Volunteer Fire Department.

Cattaraugus County District Attorney Lori Rieman was consulted during the investigation.

Anyone with information regarding illegal drug activity is urged to contact local police or the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force at 716-373-2773. All calls will be kept confidential.
