A fundraiser for Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) re-election campaign was arrested Tuesday after Maricopa County sheriff’s deputies said they found an active meth lab and other illegal drugs at her Phoenix residence, the Arizona Republic reported.

Emily Pitha, 34, and her boyfriend, Christopher Hustrulid, 36, face felony drug charges, according to the report. Pitha previously served as a constituent service representative for former Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ).

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office told the Republic that they first learned of potential illegal activity at the home after a parcel containing over 250 grams of MDMA arrived there Tuesday from the Netherlands. Upon entering the residence with a search warrant, detectives discovered the meth lab, along with a cornucopia of other drugs including LSD, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine, according to the Republic. Officials also found $7,000 in loose currency and counterfeit money.

The McCain campaign quickly announced it had ended its relationship with Pitha.....
