Ocean Springs police say a man injured in a meth lab explosion at a local motel is expected to face a felony charge of meth manufacturing.

Police Lt. John Flowers says the meth lab exploded around 6 p.m. Monday resulting in injuries to the suspect, 30-year-old as Joshua Galjour.

Police called agents with the Narcotics Task Force of Jackson County to question Galjour, who was taken to a Gulfport hospital for treatment. City building officials temporarily shut the motel down because of potential contamination.
