City woman faces meth lab charges

YOUNGSTOWN — Police say they found a mobile methamphetamine lab during a traffic stop about 6:50 p.m. Thursday on the West Side.

Reports said officers pulled over a car driven by Deanna Moschella, 35, of North Btockway Avenue, for erratic driving. Officers noticed her stopped in the middle of an intersection and followed her to her home.

Reports said Moschella told police her license was suspended and she was taken into custody. When they searched her car they found muriatic acid, lye, Drano and Coleman fuel in two separate coolers in the trunk, which are ingredients for methamphetamine, reports said.

Moschella was arrested on charges of driving under suspension, illegal assembly or possession of chemicals to manufacture drugs and possessing drug abuse instruments because she also had two needles in her car, reports said.

Moschella was taken to the Mahoning County jail.
