Mobile Meth Lab Blows Up Inside Good Samaritan's Home

Posted: Updated:

MCMINNVILLE, Tenn. - A Good Samaritan is paying the price after a car crash in McMinnville.

Police said Christy Stevens crashed her car on West Green Hill Road. It turned out she has a mobile meth lab in the car.

While she waited for police to arrive to file the crash report, she went to a nearby home where an elderly woman allowed her inside to use the bathroom.

Police said she took in her small one-pot meth lab inside to hide it.

That's when it burst into flames under the bathroom sink and contaminated the home.

The 86-year-old woman now has to deal with the chemical odor in her home.

Stevens was booked on a variety of charges, including making meth.
