Ben Hill Co. - The South Central Georgia Drug Task Force raided the Ben Hill County trailer of Julious and Robin Burkett August 9th. They found about $1500 of methamphetamine and a lab where they were making more.

Drug agents say the couple's grandchildren, ages 10 and six were there at the time of the bust. They were taken to the hospital to be tested for any traces of the drug.

45 year old Julious Burkett is being held in the Ben Hill county jail. 48 year old Robin Burkett was released yesterday on $75,000 bond. Robin Burkett works for DEFACS in Coffee County.
