On Tuesday September first at about 12:00 PM I spoke with Probation and Parole Officer Eddie Herndon about doing probation home visits
and searches. I picked him up about two hours later. We met with Detective Wesley Hagler and checked a residence. We went to Capps
Road in McEwen to look at some land that used to belong to Lemuel Palk. I was told by Joshua Henry that large quantities of
methamphetamine had been manufactured there by him and Michael Scott Palk. Wesley and I had seen evidence of meth being made there
about two years before. The grass in the road had grown and it looked as if it had not been travelled until this summer. I had periodically
driven by when I noticed the road started looking travelled again. It had been an unusually wet summer and it should have grown up. We
drove up the road and found evidence of recent activity. There were trails beat down in the grass and leaves. The trail to the north lead to a
clearing about ten feet by fifteen feet. I found double A battery ends, zippers from freezer bags, freezer bags, a plastic Igloo water cooler and
fresh cigarette butts. The trail leading to the south looked very heavily travelled. We found camouflaged air tanks, liquids in freezer bags,
plastic containers, acid spills, fresh cigarette butts, double A battery ends, and a bucket. We could smell camping fuel and ammonia. We did
not disturb the area and left before we were seen.
A search of the Tax Assessor's records showed Michael Scott Palk as the land owner for the driveway and area north. SVC LLC is the land
owner of the area to the south. This was later verified with a GPS navigator.
On September second 2009 Hagler, Sgt Dewayne Jackson, Officer Kinta Bell, and I went to conduct surveillance in the area. We made no
contact and nothing looked different. It was a full moon but the tree cover overhead kept it very dark. This caused us to believe the
individuals using these items to manufacture meth were coming during the day. The place was well kept which would be very difficult to do
with a flashlight at night. We arrived at 6:30 PM and left at 11:00 PM.
On September third 2009 Officer Shaun Wilson and I went to conduct surveillance in the area. We made no contact and nothing looked
different. We arrived at 5:00 PM and left at 9:00 PM.
On September fourth 2009 I drove past the area at 11:00 AM and saw nothing different. The area is about one hundred and fifty yards
through the woods and past the crest of the ridge. I was looking for distinct sign of traffic on the driveway and smelling for chemicals.
On September fifth 2009 I drove past the area at 6:30 PM and saw nothing different.
On September sixth 2009 Hagler, SA Jimmy Turner,Detective Hagler, Officer Jeremy Brooks, and I went to conduct surveillance in the area.
We found a trail leading from the south area heading south east. There was a substantial cook site with a strong odor of camping fuel and
ammonia. This area had several fresh Marlboro cigarette butts scattered around it. It rained while we were there. We arrived at 4:00 PM and
Hagler and Turner left at 8:00 PM. Brooks and I left at 12:00 AM.
On September eighth 2009 Sgt Steve Thompson, Sgt Shane Sexton, and I went to conduct surveillance in the area. We took pictures and
found new tire impressions at the top of the hill in the dirt. We also found a drink container and an empty bag of chips. We arrived at 12:00
PM and left at 1:00 PM.
On September ninth 2009 at about 12:00 PM Thompson, Sexton and I went to conduct surveillance in the area. We checked the area and
did not see any changes from the day before. We heard a vehicle driving on Capps. It stopped. We heard one door slam. We ran south for
about fifty yards and laid down. I laid beside a small log. They knelt behind trees behind me. We were wearing camouflaged clothing. Sexton
soon alerted me and pointed north. I saw Justin Estep walking east, wearing a white shirt and carrying a black tote bag. He walked within fifty
feet from me. When I first saw him, I immediately recognized him. Sexton and Thompson were later shown Estep's driver's license photo and
confirmed his identity. He did not see us so we kept still until he passed us. He was not following any trail. He walked straight for the large
cook site and uncovered it. He moved several of the items and then made phone calls with his cell phone. We had gone to this area in the
daylight several times before finding this cook site because it was so well camouflaged. We hid ourselves better and I called Hagler to
update him on our situation. Estep was talking loudly and making a lot of noise but we could not see him anymore. Sexton crawled towards
Estep to get a view. He saw Estep at the cook site. He could hear him talking about an object near an orange marker and asking the other
person if they hid the car good enough. Estep walked towards Sexton and stared directly at him from twenty feet away. Sexton was behind a
tree that only covered half his chest. Estep turned away and made another phone call but spoke quietly this time. We could hear Estep
periodically. We saw him walking towards the driveway about forty five minutes after being there. He was carrying the same black tote bag. I
followed him but lost sight of him when he crested the east side of the ridge. We moved to the north site to check the road. We heard

Master Incident Report
someone talking towards the south site. I walked through the brush towards the site and saw Estep walking towards the driveway. He did not
have the tote bag this time. I called Hagler back. Turner and Hagler drove to the bottom of the driveway and Hagler walked up it to find Estep
but missed him. Thirty to sixty seconds passed between the time I last saw him walking down the driveway and the time I heard Hagler shut
his car door. Lieutenant Joe Maples and Sgt Jackson arrived to help search the area. I noticed that the tarp had been moved at the large
cook site and a scanner had been left in the tree above it. It was programmed for the Humphreys County law enforcement frequency and
turned on. It was not there before Estep arrived. No one was found in the woods during the search. Maples stopped a car at Capps Road and
Gravelly Run belonging to Estep. Marvin Tabor was driving the vehicle. Tabor is Estep's step-father. Tabor told Maples that he was looking
for a place to deer hunt. Maples asked about the car. Tabor told maples that he got the car from Estep the night before and he did not know
where Estep was. Maples saw Estep driving that particular car on Hwy 70 near the National Guard Armory at 9:00 AM that morning. Sheriff
Davis, Hagler and Turner also questioned Tabor. The search was ended and the lab clean up was organized.
Detective Captain Larry Lescure, Detective Tracy Hearndon, Captain Russell Downing,Deputy Brian Baker and I conducted the clean up. Sgt
Sexton and Sgt Thompson made digital images of the clean up.
The following items were found at the main cook site, a scanner containing the Humphreys County law enforcement frequency ( left by Estep
that day, turned on), 2 plastic pitchers holding freezer bags of camp fuel, 1 empty plastic pitcher, 1 gallon jug of water, a five gallon plastic
bucket holding HCL gas generators and acid, a five gallon bucket of plumbing tools, hoses, an air tank converted to hold ammonia with some
in it, a 5 gallon plastic container holding some camp fuel, a box of freezer bags, 1 box of hand towels, 2 rolls of paper towels, 1 set of bungee
straps, 1 tarp, 1 camo net, assorted trash, 1 shovel, 1 pick, 1 canopy, two lithium batteries, and 2 freezer bags holding at least 1 pound of pill
binder each.
The secondary cook site, 1 pitcher holding a freezer bag of camp fuel, a 5 gallon plastic bucket holding a HCL gas generator and acid, 1
funnel, 1 quart of liquid fire acid, 1 bag of assorted trash.
The main storage or burial site contained two air tanks converted to hold ammonia, a hose, and three large bags of trash. A four inch long
mouse ran from under the trash bags when they were moved.
The secondary storage or burial site contained on large bag of trash.
A bag of trash was also found hidden under two old tires.
A blue Igloo drink container was found near the north site on Palk's property. It contained two HCL gas generators.
The trash was checked for liquids and solids that would create a hazard. All of it was moderately contaminated with acid, camp fuel or
