ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) An investigation could be breaking bad for someone living at the University of New Mexico's Lobo Village. Police said authorities seized Thursday unopened bottles of iodine, ammonia and other chemicals in what appeared to be a drug lab operating out of a student's room.
Authorities say a 20-year-old Central New Mexico Community College student told investigators he bought the ingredients over the Internet and from a hardware store, and that he wanted to cook a psychedelic drug from instructions he found online.
Police went to the apartment complex after another student called when he smelled something odd. A UNM police spokesman said the student could face conspiracy charges if the Albuquerque Police Department crime lab finds that illegal drugs could be concocted from the seized chemical.
