Dumb Criminals: 3 Illinois Women Arrested For Church Meth Lab

HILLSBORO, Ill. (AP) - Southern Illinois authorities have charged two women with cooking methamphetamine in a rural Hillsboro church.

The State Journal-Register reports 53-year-old Judith Hemken of Litchfield and 26-year-old Tiffany Burton of Hillsboro were charged with participating in manufacturing meth in a church Wednesday. They could each face nine to 40 years in prison if convicted.

Undersheriff Rick Robbins says authorities responded to a call Tuesday from a Waveland Church member about an apparent meth lab. He says deputies stopped a vehicle the caller had described and arrested the women. It’s unclear if they have ties to the church.
