Jeffrey Scott Lehn, 32, of Princeton pleaded guilty to charges of first degree manufacture of methamphetamine (meth) in Mille Lacs County District Court on Wednesday, Jan. 15.

Lehn was arrested March 28, 2002 at 1110 16th Street North, Princeton. The residence is owned by Cindy Lee Sabre, who was also arrested.

Lehn had a meth lab set up at the residence, including a 100-pound propane cylinder, eight grams of meth and a sophisticated audio and video surveillance system with three cameras. A scanner tuned to law enforcement radio frequencies was also found during the search warrant.

While executing that warrant, officers intercepted numerous telephone calls, including one from a woman who said she wanted to purchase "a half." Officers met the female later and arrested her after she attempted to purchase a half gram of meth for $70.

Lehn was sentenced to 43 months and is currently in the St. Cloud Correctional Facility.

Sabre also pleaded guilty to a controlled substance crime in the fifth degree and was sentenced on Friday, Feb. 7 to 60 days in jail with probation up to five years and a chemical dependency evaluation.

If she violates her probation, Sabre will be sent to prison for a minimum of one year. She is currently in the Mille Lacs County Jail.
