Carrie Krupa, Stuart, FL

The feds were on the scene to shut down this meth lab in Palm City, Florida. Ms. Krupa was present, but as she was not caught cooking, she was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia. The mug shot here is from her prior arrest for drug possession, in September, 2011.

Prior arrest

Lauren Pajerski, Berea, OH

Ok, so they were making X, not meth. But the mug shot of this Baldwin Wallace University student was too good to pass up. According to cops, "labs used to produce Ecstasy are less prevalent than meth labs because the process for making it is more technical." Which would explain why it might require a college student, as opposed to your average meth cook, to do such a thing.

Original story

Kayla Thurman, Cleveland, OH

Twenty year old Kayla was arrested, along with her 19 year old brother and two friends, for cooking meth in an 85 year old woman's home. This mug shot could pass for a high school yearbook feature. Here's hoping Ms. Thurman finds a new line of work before she looks like your typical meth wastrel.
