Bay County, FLA Sheriff Frank Mckeithen is furious over a meth lab explosion, earlier this week, that resulted in life threatening burns to a Johna Osborn, a one-year-old baby girl, whose playpen caught fire during a meth lab explosion. At a press conference soon after the explosion, Mckeithen let his anger and his words fly, stressing that he is tired of being politically correct when it comes to saving someone’s life.
*Sheriff McKeithen did this news conference shortly before John Osborn, the baby’s 34 year-old father was arrested and taken in to custody.

Alabama: Two meth labs explode in Bayou La Batre

Bayou La Batre, Alabama was in the news for the second time this month, because of meth lab explosions. When the first meth lab exploded, just about two weeks ago in room 110 of the Bayou La Batre Inn and Suites motel, Bayou Police Corporal Jason Edwards said it was a first for the city. It didn’t take long for that to change. A second meth lab, located in a trailer home on Satsuma Street, blew up with so much force that it broke every window in the house as well as the door. No one was inside the trailer when the explosion occurred.
Video coverage by Fox 10 TV covered the story of a second meth lab explosion that blew the windows and walls out of a trailer home that had been occupied by the son of Frank Collier, Sr. Franks says his son had been staying with him for the last 5 or 6 days, because he had double pneumonia, but he had gone to the trailer home earlier that night to get some clothes. Police have not named his son as a suspect.
