TX - "Remember the..." meth lab explosion near the Alamo

SAN ANTONIO — One woman was taken into custody Tuesday evening in connection with a suspected meth lab explosion at a downtown motel near the Alamo.

San Antonio Police Department spokesman Sgt. Javier Salazar said the explosion happened at about 6 p.m. at the Days Inn Alamo/Riverwalk in the 900 block of East Houston Street, one block from the Texas shrine.

Kevin Davis, who was standing at the intersection of Bowie and Houston streets when the explosion took place, said he heard a blast and saw a window pane fly from the building's façade — landing in the middle of a parking lot.

Davis said two men and a woman then ran from the room, brushing glass from their hair and faces before fleeing in the direction of Interstate 37.
