Bozeman Man Injured in Explosion of Methamphetamine Lab
BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — A man suffered chemical burns and other injuries in the explosion of a methamphetamine lab at an apartment attached to a Bozeman motel.
Police Capt. Jim Veltkamp says the victim called 911 at about 7:45 p.m. Wednesday to report the explosion. Officers say the man had injuries to his torso and arms and chemical burns on his face. Veltkamp says the man was taken to a hospital outside of Bozeman for treatment of his injuries, which he did not believe were life-threatening.
The meth lab team from the Missouri River Drug Task Force responded and processed what remained of the lab.
The drug task force is investigating. No charges have yet been filed.
