Juanita Roberts	Wade Dickens

Narcotics Officers with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office arrested two people in connection with a meth lab Wednesday afternoon.  Officers acting on a tip found a meth lab in a mobile home located at 4515 Circle Road off Rutledge Pike.  A two year old boy was at the home with a woman identified as his grandmother and an adult male.  All were decontaminated at the scene and the boy was taken to Children’s Hospital for evaluation per law.  He did not appear to have any injuries.  His biological parents were notified and were with him at the hospital. 

Officers arrested 45 year old Juanita Roberts and 47 year old Wade Dickens and charged them with promotion of a meth lab and child abuse.  They are being held in the Knox County Jail.  Bond information is unavailable at this time.  Both gave the mobile home as their address.  They each have histories of drug arrests.

Officers found meth lab components in the house and say the lab was not active, but had been several days ago. 

Robert Sedarat

The Knox County Sheriff's Office Tracking Team found the body of a South Knox County man in a creek near his house late Monday afternoon.  Seventy-four year old Robert Sedarat was reported missing earlier on Monday by a woman who rents a room in his house at 3104 Maloney Road. She had last seen Sedarat at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

The Tracking Team, K-9s, and helicopter searched the area around Maloney Road for several hours before discovering the body.  The Medical Examiner's Office is expected to conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death.  KCSO Detectives say foul play is not a factor.
