CHANDLER, Ariz. If your apartment caught fire, you probably wouldn't do what one suburban Phoenix man did.Jonathan Zaletel did.
Maricopa County sheriff's Lieutenant Paul Chagolla (cha-GOY'-ah) says Jonathan Zaletel allegedly was using a toaster to cook methamphetamine in his bedroom closet when the appliance caught fire.
The 19-year-old Chandler resident first tried water to put out the fire and when that didn't work he used window cleaner, which also didn't help.
So, instead of calling for help, Chagolla says Zaletel drove to a neighborhood Wal-Mart to buy a fire extinguisher.
By the time he returned home, the condo's sprinkler system had put out the flames and the fire department had been called.
When firefighters got a look at the bedroom closet, they called authorities. Zaletel was booked into jail on suspicion of manufacturing dangerous drugs, possession of chemicals and equipment to manufacture dangerous drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and criminal damage.
I wonder is this moron is related to the idiot who set his ***** on fire?
Keep this dude in mind for a future Darwin.
he used water to try and put out a fire on an ELECTRICAL appliance??
(shakin head)..
yep, that's the meth doin' the thinkin'
Yeah. This all fits perfectly! Where's the video?
"using a toaster to cook methamphetamine"
I have no idea you could even do this, where have I been.
Wait, since this is the outcome, maybe you can't.
"Hey buddy, where's the fire! No butting in line!"
Never underestimate the stupidity of the average criminal.
My sides are aching and I damned near had a laugh induced heart attack.....all your fault
"laugh induced heart attack"
Credit to the freeper I stole it from!
LOL - yup, ACME always delivers fast! : )
every toaster oven that i have bought, comes with a recipe book, maybe his recipe book was just a little different, i wonder what brand of toaster it was, might make a good public service announcement
I can see the new disclaimers on all new toasters.....
WARNING. If this toaster catches fire while cooking meth...DO NOT run to Wal-Mart to buy a fire extinguisher.
"Hey buddy, where's the fire! No butting in line!"
Now that's funny. LOL
I'm laughing so hard, I'm afraid I'll wake the wife. After reading this

thread, I may have to go outside for a few.
I’m surprised there aren’t more amateur-meth-maker fires in the news.
I mean, you have to be pretty rootin' tootin' stooopid to even want to do meth to begin with, much less gather up the volatile ingredients and attempt to make it.
19-year-old in his bedroom closet? I’d assume mum and dad owned the flat.
