Authorities have arrested a 25-year-old man and charged him for allegedly running a meth lab on the roof of a college residence building.

According to the Huffington Post, police arrested Justin Allan Paulus and charged him Monday with manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine. His lab where he allegedly cooked the meth was on the roof of a residence building on the College of Charleston campus.

A South Carolina Law Enforcement Division spokesman said a conviction for those charges can result in up to 15 years in prison and/or a fine of $25,000.

According to documents, police found a Coleman camper propane cylinder, muriatic acid, salt dispensers, pseudoephedrine and other items on the roof, alone with a guitar and sleeping bag. Paulus was also seen on surveillance tape purchasing pseudoephedrine at a CVS Pharmacy. The items on the roof and the OTC drug are all necessary items to make meth.

College of Charleston Public Safety officers found Paulus on the roof in late November, according to an affidavit. Police arrested him a day later and found on his person matches, syringes and a spoon with white residue that was "field-tested presumptive for methamphetamine."

According to ABC News 4, College of Charleston's senior director of media relations Mike Robertson said Paulus has never been a student of the school.

The CVS employee alerted the college about a liquid leaking into the store, since the residence building is located above.

CBS News 5 reported officers found Paulus standing on the roof when they recovered the supposed lab equipment. He was arrested for trespassing and when the responding officers asked what he was doing, he said searching for his guitar and sleeping bag, both of which found on the roof. Also found on the roof was mail addressed to Paulus.

According to the Charleston County Sheriff's office, Paulus is being held on $25,000 bail.
