Hudson Woman, Natick Man Arraigned on Charges in Connection With a Meth Lab in the Woods

A Natick man and a Hudson woman were arraigned Tuesday on charges related to an alleged crystal meth lab they allegedly set up in the woods of Framingham, according to police.

Tara Sandler, 31, of Hudson, and Kevin Sullivan, 28, of Natick were arraigned on charges of distribution of a Class B substance (manufacturing), possession of an electric stun gun, trespassing, and a municipal ordinance violation, according to Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan.

Middlesex District Court Judge Douglas Stoddart set bail at $6500 cash for Sandler and revoked bail on an active case, and set bail at $5500 cash for Sullivan, declining to revoke bail in an active case involving Sullivan.

The next scheduled hearing for Sandler and Sullivan is Monday, May 11.

A tip led authorities to the two on a property on Meadow Street in Framingham on Monday, April 13. There, police found the defendants at a tent site with items that appeared to be used in “cooking” methamphetamine.

Police officers also found a torch, gas generator, scale, funnels, and several chemicals, including, muriatic acid, ammonium nitrate, and sodium hydroxide - items generally associated with drug manufacturing. Officers also found methamphetamine on the site along with an electronic stun gun and a machete.

This incident is being investigated by the Framingham Police Department.
