Man Breaks Into Shed, Stumbles Out Hours Later Wishing He Never Went In

A North Carolina man’s plan for breaking into a shed with a specific purpose in mind, didn’t go quite as planned. He came out unexpectedly hours after entering, looking much different than when he went in.

William Allen Jr noticed a vacant mobile home in Hubert, not far from his house, that had a nice little shed on the property. Assuming the property was there for the taking, he decided the shed should be his and broke in to claim the space as his own. With a specific plan in mind of how to use the small structure, he made entry but didn’t make it out the same person he was when he went in.

The intruder brought with him a bag full of all the sundries he would need for his stay on Tuesday. This included coffee filters, tin foil, liquid drain cleaner, lighter fluid, and other odd items added to the strange assortment. He went in and got to work, but he didn’t expect what would happen next, which proved to be a better form of justice than any judge could give him.

Items recovered from the shed William used

William turned the tiny space into his own personal meth lab, but druggies, chemicals, and fire don’t make a great combination. The addict blew himself up and was ejected from his little drug den, covered in burns and experiencing instant karma for producing narcotics and breaking into a place that wasn’t his. The shed and the nearby trailer house caught on fire, and a witness alerted the police, according to WITN.

The druggie made it out alive, but not necessarily in one piece. He was airlifted to a burn unit in nearby Chapel Hill where he’s being treated for his injuries from the explosion. He undoubtedly faces a litany of charges once he eventually gets out, although those were not specified along with whether they will be pursued or not.

It’s hard to have sympathy for this guy who got what he had coming, when he decided to make deplorable life choices. Chances are, his narcotic cooking would have caught up to him sooner or later, especially since police noted that these incidences are on the rise in that county. It’s just too bad that he had to involve other people’s property who now have to pay to get it fixed.
