Pittsburgh-Area Couple Nabbed In Massive Drug Manufacturing Operation

WASHINGTON COUNTY, PA— A couple is in jail after their alleged involvement in a large-scale manufacturing lab producing the potent hallucinogenic DMT, Psilocybin mushrooms and THC products.

Drew Divelbliss, 36, and Lauren Divelbliss, 40, of Eighty Four, were taken into custody Monday after the attorney general's bureau of narcotics investigation office searched their home. They found approximately $200,000 in illegal narcotics and $300,000 in cash, along with a series of rooms housing the manufacturing operation.

Agents seized about 1,500 grams of DMT, a strong psychedelic with similar structure to Psilocybin mushrooms, valued at $150,000; 300 grams of THC shatter, valued at $45,000; Psilocybin mushrooms; hundreds of packages of THC edibles; 10 pounds of marijuana and the cash stored in vacuum-sealed bags.

Authorities also found two children in the home, which contained dangerous chemicals used in the manufacturing process.

Attorney General Michelle Henry said the couple's home "was essentially converted into a lab to produce illegal substances. A thorough investigation and great collaboration with law enforcement partners resulted in the shutdown of this production operation and intervention
to protect the children."

Drew and Lauren Divelbliss both are charged with felony counts of possession with intent to deliver and two felony counts of endangering the welfare of children. They are being housed in the Washington County Jail.
