Amy Strain (pictured), 26 of Nashville, was stopped by officers after being clocked at 55 in a 40 MPH zone on Lewisburg Pike near Donelson Creek. Strain pulled over on Lewisburg Pike near Gardner Drive, and when she did, officers noticed that Strain appeared to be extremely nervous. A K9 alerted officers to the presence of narcotics in Strain's vehicle, and a variety of chemicals and other materials used to manufacture methamphetamine were discovered. Narcotics Detectives, along with the Franklin Fire Department and Tennessee Meth Task Force were called to process and decontaminate the scene. Both occupants of the vehicle had to be decontaminated by specially trained hazmat specialists.
