It may not be one of the Ten Commandments, but it kind of goes without saying that thou shalt not cook meth in a house of worship.

But two women were accused of cooking meth inside a rural southern Illinois church on Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.

Judith Hemken, 53, and Tiffany Burton, 26, were arrested near Hillsboro after a Waveland Hillsboro Presbyterian Church member "noticed activity" in the building on a Tuesday night when it was supposed to be empty, Montgomery County Undersheriff Rick Robbins told the The State Journal-Register. The church member reportedly spotted one woman outside the church and another in its basement, with what appeared to be parts of a meth lab.

The women fled in a car, but were pulled over by police. Officers found a clandestine lab in the church basement and had to extinguish a small fire that started due to the lithium and moisture from a sink drain, the Journal-News reports.

Meth labs have cropped up in other unusual locations, like retirement communities, Walmart and a golf course porta-potty. Robbins told the State Journal-Register he'd never seen a meth cooked in a church before, but he had seen a meth lab at a cemetery.

Neither woman was affiliated with Waveland, Robbins said. Since the alleged lab was inside a church, the women could face enhanced sentences of up to 40 years in prison.

O.o
 
Next they'll be putting them in the State Capitol Building....

oh, wait

This time Albany has really gone up in smoke.

State workers at the capitol were busted for a "man cave" where they lounged during work hours, smoked pot, slept, sold drugs and racked up more than $28,000 in taxpayer funded overtime -- all while the government was engaged in a five-week coup that nearly shut down the legislature, according to a new bombshell report.

As lawmakers held the state of New York hostage, a government employed janitor and his boss from the Office of General Services were living large and "routinely clocked in at 4 p.m., got high, then slept" in the "hidden party lounge" that was busted on July 14, according to a press release from the state's Inspector General.

The pair were accused of creating the secret hang out that was outfitted with couches, a television, a refrigerator and scales to weigh pot, the Inspector General's office said.
