MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Murfreesboro Police recovered an active methamphetamine lab in the early hours of Saturday from the McDonald’s parking lot on South Rutherford Boulevard, according to an arrest report.

Officer Randell Gaines discovered the meth lab during a routine welfare check he conducted around 2 a.m. Saturday on a man who was asleep in a running car, the officer reported.

Gaines tried to awaken the man by knocking on his window, which was when he noticed the man, later identified as Tracy M. Strawn, was partially nude from his waist down, Gaines said.
