Authorities had reportedly received multiple complaints about the apartment which had been under investigation for a few weeks prior to the search.

Residents of the apartment complex were evacuated while authorities searched the building, and allowed to return back to their units on Thursday morning.
'Obviously with all these chemicals together and during the process of making this, it could ultimately explode, which is why we evacuated the building while the product was being removed,' McKees Rocks Police Chief Richard Deliman said.
The publication reported that authorities discovered 'lithium, lighter fluid, propane, empty pseudo-ephedrine packaging and ammonium nitrate in the apartment.'

To further, 'glass smoking pipes, tourniquets, cooking tins and hypodermic needles' were recovered from the home, in addition to 'several One Pot cooks that appeared to be recently manufactured.'
Delp's preliminary hearing is scheduled for Jan. 23.
Jenelle married David Eason during a backyard ceremony at their North Carolina home in September, nearly nine months after having their daughter Ensley.
She was previously married to Courtland Rogers between 2012-2014, and has three-year-old son Kaiser with ex-fiance Nathan Griffith.
Andrew Lewis is the father of Evans' oldest son, Jace, 8, who's childhood has been documented on the show since January 2011.
