State police found a backpack with a 2-liter bottle used to make methamphetamine Sunday night when they went to the Convenient Food Market in the village of Lenoxville to investigate a domestic dispute, Susquehanna County District Attorney Jason Legg said Monday.

Legg said police arrested three men and took a woman involved in the dispute to a hospital for evaluation after she was found “acting oddly.”

He said the bottle was part of a method called “a one-pot cook,” now favored by methamphetamine manufacturers because of the difficulty in getting larger amounts of the chemicals necessary to make large quantities.

One of the three men was identified as William Conrad IV, 32, of Union Dale.

He was arraigned Monday morning in New Milford District Court and is being held on $250,000 bail.

Conrad has been charged with manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance; use/possession of drug paraphernalia; and three counts of possession of red phosphorus with intent to manufacture a controlled substance.

A preliminary hearing for Conrad was scheduled for Tuesday, March 24 in Clifford District Court.
