Police: Man Passes Out Cooking Meth At Gas Station
A man was found passed out New Year's Day at a gas station while cooking methamphetamine in his vehicle at the fuel pumps, authorities said.
A Shell station employee called Murfreesboro police to report the passed-out man. The worker said the vehicle had been parked for about an hour.
Officers found the man, Nathan Beasley, in the driver's seat and saw he was cooking meth in the back of the vehicle, police said.
"Any time you have this type of chemical in location of a gas pump, an explosion can be tremendous," said Assistant Fire Chief Allen Swader.
Rutherford County EMS transported Beasley to Middle Tennessee Medical Center, where he was reported to be responsive.
Officers are investigating, and charges are pending.
The meth lab was secured and dismantled by Murfreesboro police and hazmat crews.
