Alleged drug blast at Anaheim motel room

A man was in critical condition Wednesday after he was severely burned in an explosion at an Anaheim motel room used to manufacture drugs.

Firefighters and police were called just after 10:30 p.m. Tuesday to the Evergreen Royalle Motel where they found a middle-aged man with severe burns on his upper body and a middle-aged woman with minor burns.

It is believed there was a drug blast inside one of the rooms.  Equipment used to manufacture hashish was found in the room, but cause is still under investigation.

All acts associated with growing, caring for and processing marijuana, and hashish, are prohibited by California Health & Safety Code 11358. Marijuana cultivation may be charged as a felony offense, punishable by up to 3 years in state prison.

If you or someone you know has been accused of marijuana cultivation it is crucial to work with a Los Angeles drug defense lawyer if you would like the opportunity of having a strong defense against your charges.
