Updated

Narcotics detectives with the Conroe Police Department on Monday uncovered a lab they say was producing marijuana wax, the first known workshop of its kind in Montgomery County.

Thomas Patrick Bryce, 51, a resident of the Conroe home where the lab was found, is being charged with three felonies. Two of these are first-degree felonies: possession of a controlled substance, including drugs with no medicinal value, more than 400 grams, and manufacturing more than 400 grams of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Bryce was charged with a second-degree felony for possession of a controlled substance, THC, between 1 and 4 grams.

While executing a search warrant at Bryce’s home on the 14000 block of McCombs Road in Conroe, detectives accompanied by Conroe PD SWAT and Montgomery County Precinct 2 Constable’s deputies, found large quantities of high potency THC wax and food products, according to Conroe Police. Describing the butane hydrocarbon gas-based lab as “elaborate,” Conroe PD stated raw marijuana was being synthesized into the THC.
