A St. Louis County police officer won $600,000 from a homeowner Friday in a civil suit over injuries he suffered investigating a suspected methamphetamine lab near Eureka.
Ryan said he was checking out a jug on the floor of a shed when the spout popped open and anhydrous ammonia fumes engulfed him, causing what he said were permanent injuries.
Mark Ezra, a mechanical engineer, conducted tests on similar jug and concluded the spout could only be opened by hand.
