A senior man living in a rest home was arrested after officers discovered a meth lab in his apartment.

Fresno cops say, Robert Short, 64, was part of a routine traffic stop when they found meth in his car. Investigators then went to his apartment and found he was cooking and distributing meth.

“It’s shocking, I would never guess that anything like that would go on at a senior citizen village,” said Robin Schramek, a resident.

“I do know that he is a new tenant, maybe three or four months ago,” said Schramek. source

 
Other neighbors living in the Fresno, Ca., Village say their retirement community is usually quiet and safe. So naturally neighbors were appalled to hear one of the tenants is in the Fresno County Jail for dealing and cooking meth in this complex.
