METH LAB DEATH SHOWS GROWING DANGER
The death of a Perry County man this week from injuries he received Sunday
in an explosion at a methamphetamine lab illustrates the dangers that come
with mixing together a volatile brew of chemicals to make illegal
narcotics, officials say.
Thomas Randall Windham of the Buck Creek community died Wednesday at a burn
center in Mobile, Ala. He is the state's third death in the last 45 days
resulting from explosions of methamphetamine labs, said Maj. Randy Johnson,
commander of the methamphetamine unit with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics.
"The ingredients used in the manufacture of methamphetamine are hazardous
and very dangerous," Johnson said.
