In Indiana - A 32-year-old man died in a fire that broke out after he apparently broke into a barn where police found the ingredients used to make Meth. It appears he died while trying to escape after he was trapped inside the burning barn.  The coroner reports that the victim died of smoke inhalation and had burns on about 20% of his body.  He was identified by his tattoos. A preliminary investigation suggests the fire was started when an electrical cord connected to an outside running generator sparked from being pinched under an overhead door – and the spark may have created a flash fire, blocking the exit door.  The property owner was away at the time of the fire and had given no one permission to use the building. 

In Florida – Deputies who pulled over a man for running a red light ended up making a large Meth bust.  A K-9 dog alerted the officers to the presence of drugs in he car, and they found two stuffed animals on the back window panel with just over two-pounds of Meth hidden inside.  The 22-year-old driver has an immigration hold on him for being an illegal immigrant.  Now he faces charges of possessing and trafficking Meth and driving with a suspended license.  He reportedly admitted to having the Meth.
