HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Three people are facing trouble with the law after an alleged meth lab explosion caused a fire in May. On May 24, Jason White was burned in a fire in the 17800 block of Paddle Wheel, in north Harris County. White, 32, was taken to Houston Northwest Medical Center for burns received when he was "injured by an explosive chemical reaction during the production of methamphetamine," could documents state.
Officials from the Harris County Sheriff's Office, Harris County Fire Marshal and Harris County HazMat all arrived at the scene of the fire. Authorities determined that White had allegedly been creating meth in a bathroom when the accident happened. They say he was shaking a bottle full of chemicals when a reaction occurred and the bottle exploded, burning his face, arms and hands.
Officials found broken batteries, drain cleaner, Sudafed, coffee filters and muriatic acid, all items known to be used in the manufacture of meth. White reportedly told deputies at the hospital that he had been "making meth and it exploded."
Thurman Hall and White's girlfriend, Lindsey Grice, both reportedly told officials at the scene that they knew White was making meth. Charges arson/manufacture of a controlled substance have been filed.
