Driver passes out, meth lab in back seat
Didn't Saddam have a rig like this for his anthrax?
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- Police say a driver passed out in his car at a Tennessee gas station while a batch of methamphetamine was cooking in the back seat.
Binge drinking from New Year's Eve?
No doubt passed out from the fumes. Which clearly kill brain cells, else the gentleman would have thought to open a window, if only just a little.
An employee at the gas station in Murfreesboro, about 30 miles southeast of Nashville, called police because the car was sitting at the pump for about an hour on New Year's Day.
I'm glad someone wasn't passed out.
Police say a chemical process to make the drug was in progress. Some meth-making ingredients can be explosive.
As anyone who has watched TV recently knows... oh, he must have 'passed out' during those bits.
Murfreesboro Assistant Fire Chief Allen Swader told The Daily News Journal that gas pumps were shut off as a precaution.
Fire chief was not passed out.
Thirty-one-year-old Nathan E. Beasley is being held on a $15,000 bond on charges of driving under the influence,
That seems a bit excessive, since he very clearly wasn't driving at the time he was arrested, and in fact not driving was the reason the police were called in.
driving on a suspended license, reckless endangerment and manufacturing meth. No attorney was listed in police records.
I wouldn't want to try to explain this one either.

#3  I once came home to an odor of cat litter, only to find the cats manufacturing meth. I threatened to take them back to the shelter if I ever caught them at it again, and I've had no trouble since.

#2  No kidding, Deacon.

One thing we watch out for when responding to a rescue call is whether (a) the house/trailer/apartment smells bad like they've got too many indoor cats/litter boxes and then (b) there's no evidence of cats. That's what a meth lab is supposed to smell like. Haven't run into it (yet), thank goodness.

#1  A meth lab was found last week not too far from me. Neighbors near the lab reported chemical smells to police who raided it. I know of one incident where two people died trying to make meth. One died first and the other two buried him in the back yard then a second died. The third man goofed and blew up the trailer killing himself. These are dangerous chemicals.
