Brian D. Underwood and Holly J. King arrested by Sun Prairie police and state Department of Justice agents.

Brian D. Underwood, 31, and Holly J. King, 38, were indicted in April for using a residence at 1106 Pine St. to make methamphetamine after being arrested by Sun Prairie police and state Department of Justice agents.<br />Although cooking the ingredients to make methamphetamine creates a strong odor, Sun Prairie police didn't receive a tip about Underwood's activity until earlier this year, said Assistant U.S. Attorney David Reinhard.<br />After their search of Underwood's garage, authorities brought in a hazardous waste cleanup team to remove contaminate residue and equipment from the once-functioning methamphetamine lab, he said.Prior to obtaining a search warrant, police learned that Underwood had acquired 140 grams of pseudoephedrine from area pharmacies, said Reinhard. Underwood told authorities that he made methamphetamine three times a week between March 9, 2007 and March 18, 2008, Reinhard said.Reinhard said Underwood made about 200 grams of methamphetamine during the past year, which he characterized as "quite a lot."Underwood faces statutory maximum penalties of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine at a Sept. 24 sentencing before U.S. District Court Judge Barbara Crabb. Underwood's actual sentence will reflect the amount of methamphetamine he made, his role in the offense, prior convictions and his agreement to plead guilty.
