BOSSIER CITY, LA (KSLA) -

Bossier City police arrested a man last week in connection with what they describe as a rolling meth lab.

Officers arrested Christopher Adam Anderson, 26, of Doyline on charges of creation of a clandestine lab.

Police say events began on Thursday when Bossier City Fire Department personnel were called to a vehicle fire in the parking lot of the Orchard Apartments in the 4800 block of Shed Road.     

Once the fire was out, emergency personnel saw what they believe were components of a meth lab inside the vehicle. Narcotics agents then were called to the scene to investigate.
 
Police say that, as a result of witness statements and evidence found at and near the scene, agents subsequently arrested Anderson on the creation of a clandestine lab charge.

Police say they believe the fire started as a result of an adverse chemical reaction caused by Anderson's attempt to make methamphetamine and leaving the mixture in the vehicle. There were no reported injuries from the fire.
 
Anderson was booked into the Bossier City Jail and later transferred to the Bossier Maximum Security Facility.
