CHEROKEE VILLAGE — A sheriff in north Arkansas says he's recovering after he was injured while serving a search warrant.
Sharp County Sheriff Mark Counts said he was hurt while serving a search warrant last week at a home in Cherokee Village. Counts told Jonesboro television KAIT that authorities found a trap door inside a bedroom floor. The sheriff said authorities found components of a methamphetamine lab once the door was opened.
Counts said he inhaled toxic chemicals inside the home and was taken to a hospital in Batesville, but he's since been released.
