Lisa Brady, 39, of Shinnston, Lands Jail Time after Her Alleged Methamphetamine Making Catches Fairmont Country Club Motor Lodge Room on Fire

A Shinnston woman was arrested Thursday after she allegedly caught a Country Club Motor Lodge room on fire while making methamphetamine.

Lisa Brady, 39, was staying at the lodge on Locust Avenue in Fairmont when it caught fire, according to the Fairmont Police Department.

When crews arrived on scene, they found the fire to be suspicious because it was confined to the bathtub. Vertical burn marks were visible on the bathtub walls, and surgical tubing, coffee filters, an uncapped syringe, and aluminum foil were found in the room, police said.

After further investigation, police found a trash bag, outside of Brady’s room, that contained ammonium crystals from cold compress packs, lithium battery casings, lithium strips, a lighter fluid cap, flip-top sandwich bags, a melted/burnt shower curtain, burnt towels, a receipt from Food Lion for two containers of butane lighter fluid, and a handwritten shopping list on a note card, according to court documents.

Police said Brady can also be seen on Food Lion surveillance video purchasing the lighter fluid on the same day as the fire.

Brady is charged with attempting to operate a clandestine drug laboratory.
