A woman in Tulsa, Okla., was arrested after cooking methamphetamine inside a Wal-Mart store, CNN is reporting.
She was reportedly using drain cleaner and other items in the store to mix the street drug, which may have burned one officer on the scene.
The Tulsa World is reporting that Alisha Halfmoon, 45, was taken into custody after Wal-Mart security personnel called 9-1-1.

Walmart security watched the woman, who was acting suspiciously and made her way to the back of the store near restrooms, where she began mixing ingredients, Tulsa police Cpl. Scott Anderson said.
… One officer may have been burned by sulfuric acid that had resulted from a chemical reaction in the box of items taken from the scene, Anderson said. Officer Richard Urban told officers he felt a burning sensation on his hand through his leather glove as he was carrying evidence from the scene, Anderson said. Urban removed his glove and washed off the substance, leaving no visible injury, Anderson said.
The evidence collected at the scene included lithium and chemical drain cleaner, but no pseudoephedrine, Anderson said.
