NEVERMIND.

Remember how "a man was pulling a woman away from a pickup in the driveway toward the front door of the house"? Yeah. I just looked up the owner's house on google maps. The street view showed that very same pickup in the driveway of the owner's house. Suddenly I'm not so confident that the owner will see things my way.

It's possible that the owner is a family member and the truck may belong to him as well. See if the listed address for the owner is owned by the same person.

I don't know if he owns or rents, but since I don't even know his name, I'm not sure how I would find out. Even then, I have no evidence to bring against him other than what the police already know, so I don't have anything to present to the owner (if it isn't him).

The property ownership records are kept at the county. You won't need his name just the address, Usually if its a rental property, it will be owned by a company or corporate name rather than an individual.

I hope they eventually put this guy away, I hate drug dealers as much as I hate bullies who abuse women.

I think you did everything correctly under the circumstances. If the police told you they knew about him being a dealer, then there have been interactions with him in the past. You can contact your county drug task force if they have one. It is usually under the direction of the DPS. Let them know of the incident, they can pull the report. As one poster suggested, keep a log of cars and LPs that frequent the BGs house, then turn over the list to the task force. They will advise you regarding any other things to look out for. The difficulty in prosecuting a lot of these people, is that there is no one willing to provide enough info to obtain a warrant, the task force may set up surveillance, and stop anyone leaving. if they can get one of his customers to roll over on him then they can take further action.

But as most have said on here, don't turn your back on him, and see if you can find out about the property ownership. A meth lab is not only a hazard for the chemical dangers, but meth addicts are very prone to violence and will stop at nothing to get their drugs.

Keep us updated. Stay safe and Good luck.
