Cops: Man Caught Cooking Meth Out of Car in New Jersey Parking Lot

Police said officers observed the man moving around in his car, which soon became filled with white smoke

Police say they have arrested a man caught cooking methamphetamine in his Chrysler sedan in a northern New Jersey parking lot.

The Record reports 34-year-old Christopher Poole was apprehended Wednesday night in a lot off state Route 46 in Wayne. He was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia and related charges.

Captain Keith O'Sullivan says officers observed Poole moving around in his car, which soon became filled with white smoke, "filtering liquids and pouring substances into clear water bottles."

O'Sullivan says when approached, Poole told officers he was taking a break from his job at the Tilted Kilt restaurant.

Police say the manager of the restaurant, which shares the parking lot with a Ramada Inn, claims to have never heard of Poole.

It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney to comment on the charges.
