Of the 39-arrests, one of the suspects is from Rutherford County. Smyrna resident Jose Sosa-Ramirez was apprehended and taken to the Davidson County Jail.

The ring leader in the meth making was a man by the name of Shane Lewis Oakley. The 30-year olds monthly meth income was estimated to have been between $12,000 & $15,000.
