Derek J. Haines, 24, of Waukesha, Wisconsin turned to the Internet like some many people trying to better themselves. Haines’ problem was downloading instructions of how to build a meth lab and then taking the print out on a shopping trip to the local hardware store — where he was arrested.
An employee saw the print out and called police, which found automobile starter fluid and concrete cleaner in his car — both were stolen from the story. They also found ritalin tablets and gasoline in his freezer. Police say that Haines expressed relief that he was caught because he was afraid that he was going to blow himself up in the process of making methamphetamine.
He is charged with maintaining a drug house, delivery of prescription medication, bail jumping, theft, illegal possession of prescription drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He sounds like one of those people who commit a crime merely to be arrested so that they can have 3 hots and a cot.
At least he wasn’t shopping for centrifuges and aluminum tubing. “Hey, do you guys keep the uranium in paint or plumbing?” This is what happens when you a take a drug that will eat dime sized holes in your brain. Indeed, what a maroon.
whaddaya know — he was using ritalin, not OTC pseudoephedrin! State of Oregon has gone crazy and makes life a Royal Pain in the Patootie for the zillions of folks here in the Grass Seed capitol of the world with allergies to same. You can’t get the one really effective decongestant generic that’s available without an Rx! Of course, it actually takes pallet-loads of psuedo-ephedrin to get usable amounts of the meth ingredient out of, if you really even can, but Tally-Ho the Drug War!! (and no, the pseudoephedrin PE stuff that is marketed as a “safe” substitute is VERY-to-completely ineffective.) And no, making life an even bigger pain for allergy sufferers has had absolutely no effect on the local meth production scene, AFAIK.
I guess he took those ads serious,you know where the couple are at their local hardware store and are planning the new kitchen,or deck and the salesman is showing them what they need.
Homeboy was just trying to get it right.LOL!!
