ALBION, Pa.—A husband and wife accused of running a large-scale methamphetamine lab in Erie County have been found in Florida.

The Pennsylvania Attorney General says 43-year-old Ronald Frey and 42-year-old Patricia Frey of Albion were arrested on Saturday in Ocala, Fla. The arrests were announced on Monday.

Authorities say state police in Erie County received a tip from an Ocala resident who overheard the Freys talking about eluding police in Pennsylvania.

In March, drug agents broke up what they said was the oldest known meth lab in northwestern Pennsylvania.

Authorities say they now have all 29 defendants in the case in custody.

Ronald and Patricia Frey waived extradition and are awaiting transportation to Erie. It was not immediately clear if they had attorneys.
