Drug-making video leads to home seizure
Illinois authorities have moved to seize the home of a man who posted an Internet video of himself making drugs there.
The owner of the home, Devin T. Michalski, 23, is already serving a two-year prison sentence for unlawfully producing a substance containing dimethyltryptamine, the Alton Telegraph reports.
The crime was discovered after Michalski posted an online video of himself making the drug, known as “Agent Lemon DXM Extraction,” out of cough medicine.
Michalski’s former stepfather notified authorities of the video, the Telegraph reports.
According to a forfeiture suit filed by prosecutors, police found glass beakers, food processors and measuring cups with drug residue and two chemicals found in cough medicine in the home, which is valued at $200,000.
The suit was filed under the controlled substances act and the Illinois Drug Asset Forfeiture Procedure Act.
