Meth lab found inside DeKalb hotel, Phillip Carmona arrested

Smoke inside a Chamblee hotel led authorities to discover a meth lab inside one of the rooms.
 
Georgia Bureau of Investigations and local authorities removed some of the hazardous materials from the room.
 
Authorities say a person called police when he noticed a man trying to take some materials outside an Extended Stay America Hotel late Monday night.
 
When officers arrived they found smoke coming from one of the rooms.
 
”The fire department responded to a fire alarm here at the Extended Stay. When they arrived, they observed smoke coming out of a room and they encountered an individual as he came out of the room, said Chamblee Police Captain Eesto Ford.
 
Authorities then evacuated the hotel.
 
Police say the suspect took off toward a nearby wooded area. The man has been identified as Phillip Carmona.

Authorities say a warrant for Carmona has been issued.
