WAKE FOREST, N.C. — A sheriff's office said it made one of its largest single-day busts after arresting two men accused of running a drug lab out of a North Carolina home.
WTVD reported 33-year-old Daniel Hawkins and 35-year-old Benjamin Lumpkin were arrested last week after deputies found a drug lab at a home on Flaherty Avenue in Wake Forest.

The house was being used to produce the hallucinogenic drug dimethyltryptamine and the pair were putting it in vape pens, according to the sheriff's office.
The street value of the bust was estimated at almost $4 million.
Authorities said there have only been three dimethyltryptamine labs found in North Carolina, and Wake County's Drugs and Vice Unit has found two of the three.
Lumpkins and Hawkins were charged with manufacture of a schedule I controlled substance, maintaining a dwelling, possession of precursors and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
They are both being held at the Wake County Justice Center.
