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.
