On Oct. 19, 2018, police carried out a search warrant on a Trinity Valley Road property, where they found a "massive clandestine laboratory." Large quantities of drugs, precursor chemicals and waste materials were found.
Police say they recovered approximately 48 kilograms of ephedrine HCl, 50 kilograms of solutions containing ephedrine HCl, 4.5 kilograms of methamphetamine HCl, 147 gallons (556 litres) of solutions containing methamphetamine, 10 kilograms of 4-anilino-N-phenethylpiperidine (ANPP), 2.95 kilograms of nandrolone phenylpropionate (NPP), 660 grams of fentanyl and 124.7 litres of solutions containing both fentanyl and ANPP.
The lab was one of the largest ever uncovered in the province and hazardous waste removal teams had to be brought in, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to clean it up.
McMorris’s case has been put over to Sept. 20 to set a date for sentencing.
Three other men were sentenced on various charges in the case. Tyson Kopp, Michael Piggott, Michael Harvey were all sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty in February 2021.
