"A Chandler man has been arrested after his condominium caught fire while he was cooking methamphetamine in a toaster oven, authorities said"
"Jonathan Zaletel, 19, was arrested on suspicion of drug manufacturing, drug possession and criminal damage"
"Zaletel was cooking meth... when his condominium bedroom closet caught fire, authorities said"
"He unsuccessfully attempted to stop the fire with water and window cleaner. He then went to Wal-Mart to buy a fire extinguisher"
"The condo's sprinkler system put out the fire while he was gone. Chandler firefighters were at the scene when Zaletel returned"
"Meth manufacturers don't use toaster ovens often, said Sgt. Rich Burden, a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office agent with the County's High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force"
"But what they are probably doing is drying it and that's really explosive because it has ether in it, brake cleaner, stuff like that," Burden said. "They dry it out so it's not so chunky and muddy-like, so they can snort it"
...this made the news? Seriously, that's incredibly common. o.o
Agree with SX on this one. How did this make the news?
Run of the mill or not, this train wreck of an article just seemed to get worse with every sentence. Good for at least a chuckle at the follies of humanity ^_^
What amuses me is how he decided to leave the burning condo and go over to Wal-Mart to pick up a fire extinguisher. heh.
People who do meth are dumb. News at 11.
