ARROYO GRANDE, Calif.- An Arroyo Grande mother says the Department of Justice has it all wrong, after she found out her home is registered online as a meth house.
"This is completely embarrassing and shocking and humiliating," said Mary Lopez, an Arroyo Grande resident.
Mary Lopez says she can't even go outside of her house without people thinking she lives in a meth house.
"This is not a meth house, no meth happens, no meth selling, no meth cooking. This house should not be on that list," said Lopez.
All because of a list, she says is wrong. Lopez's home is one of ten houses in San Luis Obispo County that is registered as a meth house, that's according to the Department of Justice.
When Central Coast News asked what could be the reason why her house made the list? Lopez responded, "a few years back my son was living here and I had to call probation I found some chemicals, I wasn't sure what they were. The conclusion was he was intending to manufacture meth, he never did. They also concluded that there was no contamination in the house."
Lopez says her son, whose now 20, no longer lives at the home.
Central Coast News reached out Arroyo Grande Police to see what they knew about the home and they said in the last four years, they've had 19 calls, none related to drugs.
"So the fact that this is happening it feels really unfair," said Lopez.
As for Lopez, she says if things don't change, she may have to move.
"Because if it doesn't get taken off then I really don't want to live here, I don't want to live in a house that is heard as a meth house," she said.
Central Coast News reached out to the Department of Justice to see how long a house stays on the list, but as of Monday evening have not received a call back.
