Two men appeared in bond court Thursday after being charged with manufacturing methamphetamines from their Ravenel home.

A judge set bail at $300,000 for Joseph Chaplain III, 32, of 5803 Drayton St., according to court records.

Bail was set at $400,000 for a second man who lives with Chaplain, Kenneth Wayne Ott, 44, court records show.

Charleston County sheriff’s deputies arrested both men Wednesday after receiving a tip that their home was being used as a meth lab.

Chaplain was wanted on charges of kidnapping and criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature prior to Wednesday’s incident.

Ott received additional charges of possession of a firearm by a violent felon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime and possession of a stolen firearm.
