A mobile meth lab was recovered and its owner arrested Monday, Sheriff Tony Cameron said.

Wanted in Lee and Polk counties, 49-year-old Keith Edward Hammock, of 8841 47th Drive, Live Oak, allegedly traveled the state in a 2004 Dodge truck that was fitted into a meth lab, said Cameron.

"He had all the ingredients and equipment to make meth all in the truck," said Cameron.

Cameron said Hammock made and sold the drug out of the truck.

Hammock was arrested by Suwannee County Drug Task Force Deputy Mary Ramirez and charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine, manufacture of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, failure to appear-traffic and possession of amphetamine. He was booked into the Suwannee County Jail.
