ALTONA, N.Y. -

       (AP) - State Police in Plattsburgh have arrested two men on drug charges after troopers discovered a methamphetamine lab in a rural area about 12 miles south of the Canadian border.

Police say the lab was in a shed in Altona, 155 miles north of Albany. Troopers on patrol discovered it around 2 a.m. Saturday when they noticed a lot of smoke billowing from the shed.

 Two men came out of the shed as troopers approached. The men, 46-year-old Danny Spear and 47-year-old Claude Leduc, were charged with felony manufacture of methamphetamine and other drug charges.

 Both men were arraigned in the Town of Altona Court and sent to Clinton County Jail on $10,000 cash bail or $20,000 bond. Police Sunday were unaware if the men had lawyers.
