The case against Lonzo began on 16 Feb 06 when road Deputies responded to a complaint concerning a strong chemical smell emanating from a trailer at 30095 State Route 7 north of Reno.

Interviewed by Detectives, Lonzo confessed that she participated in certain steps of the manufacturing of methamphetamines, which is a second degree felony.
