Meth lab explodes in man's pants during scuffle with cops

4/29/2012

"What seems to be the problem, officer?" is just not going to cover it when the meth you're cooking in your pants explodes in front of a highway patrolman. Apparently a trooper from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol pulled a man over for a traffic stop and asked him about a "weird chemical smell." The man responded by turning tail and trying to flee. The trooper tried to detain him and in the ensuing scuffle, the "one-pot lab," a portable meth-making device, aka probably a drink bottle filled with unstable chemicals, completely exploded inside his pants and got all over his body (though he wasn't seriously injured). Meth! It basically makes you stupid.
