Former BYU student sentenced again for meth lab activities

A former Brigham Young University student who spent time behind bars for operating a methamphetamine lab in 2014, has pleaded guilty to similar activity in another case.

Bryce Cazier, 25, was charged last year in 3rd District Court with first-degree felony operation of a clandestine lab, following his May 2016 arrest at a Salt Lake City home.

He pleaded guilty last week to a reduced second-degree felony count of attempted operation of a clandestine lab and was sentenced to 24 months probation.

Cazier’s roommate — who knew of his previous history of making drugs — called the fire department on May 27, 2016, after smelling a strong chemical odor at their home located near 1900 E.
