A Perry man was arrested on Sunday evening for allegedly making methamphetamine inside a Walmart store in Mentor.

Mentor Police Lt. Ken Zbiegien tells Fox 8 News that James Richardson, 37, was spotted by store security around 5:30 p.m. on June 17th.

Security witnessed Richardson placing ingredients in his shopping cart that are common in the production of meth.

According to Zbiegien, Richardson then combined the ingredients in a salt shaker he had taken off a store shelve and began shaking the container.
