Original story: http://www.wcfcourier.com/articles/2005/02/17/news/breaking_news/7cc84345f1a4c69186256fab00805590.txt

Seems a couple of meth makers needed some common fertilizer to make their latest batch. It turns out that they needed anhydrous ammonia, which is pure ammonia undiluted with water. It causes an extreme case of freezer burn on anything it touches. So this daring duo collected a cooler full at a farm supply. As they were driving away one held the cooler on his lap. A deputy gave chase and they crashed their SUV. Cooler guy found himself with a lap full of ammonia and the worlds worse case of freezer burn. Hospital witnesses verify there is no possibility of passing on his genes.

That's a nasty case of freezer burn!

Aside from a pretty blah write-up (feel free to resubmit this with a better write up), I'm not quite convinced that this isn't just another cop chase gone bad. At rhe very least I will hold out for a better write-up. Otherwise, this certainly has potential! Freezing one's nuts off is a very interesting and uncommon way to win a DA!

I'd like to pass on a an award here but the Courier's archives do not allow me to search far enough back. I am going to be neutral on this one without verification. Thanks for sending the story though, leopard_colony
