Emergency crews responded to a call of a domestic dispute and found a meth lab in Mt. Juliet.

Crews were at the scene in the 200 block of Whitnel Drive off Nonaville Road Wednesday afternoon.

Authorities said they responded to a domestic dispute call and found a small, one-pot style meth lab in a minivan at the home.

Reports stated a hazmat unit went to the scene to properly dispose of the materials. They added there was no extended danger from the scene.

According to officials, a 32-year-old man had burns on his legs that happened before Wednesday's incident. They said he was decontaminated and taken to the hospital for treatment.

Officials said that area was closed as they worked at the scene.

The investigation remained ongoing, and authorities confirmed criminal charges were likely forthcoming.
