RUTLEDGE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Grainger County Deputies raided a house, finding an active meth lab. When one of the people inside tried to flush the meth lab down the toilet, it exploded.

Deputies went to the house on Highway 92 in Rutledge early Thursday morning. They arrested five people: Krystal Holbert, Johnny Lee, James Keck, Brandy Gibson and Cecille Evans for making meth.

Holbert faces additional charges for aggravated burglary, theft, criminal simulation and tampering with evidence.

Deputies says she is the one who ran through the house and tried to flush the meth lab down the toilet. It exploded and burned her face. Crews took her to the hospital, then to the Grainger County Detention Center.

Lee also faces more charges for resisting arrest and criminal simulation.

"It astounds me at what lengths that some of these individuals will go to continue or conceal their habits," said Grainger County Sheriff Scott Layel.

"Moisture is one of the factors that causes the chemical explosion and the fact that she was attempting to flush it in a toilet is amazing to me. She could have easily killed herself, the other defendants and the officers at the scene."
