“Hotel Inferno: Drug Lab Mishap Causes Blaze!” A man attempting to set up a drug lab in a Westchester County hotel experienced a major setback when a fire broke out, resulting in severe burns to himself and triggering the sprinkler system. Police and firefighters rushed to the Marriott Residence Inn at New Roc City following a fire alarm on Sunday night, finding that the sprinklers had mostly extinguished the flames in a room on the seventh floor. However, the situation was far from over. Upon further inspection, authorities discovered evidence of an illegal drug lab inside the room, including cocaine and related processing materials. The investigation led to the identification of Pedro Marte, a Manhattan resident, who was located at a Queens hospital receiving treatment for burns to his arm, torso, and foot. Marte was then transferred to another hospital in New York City and charged with multiple offenses, including arson and drug possession. While Marte remains in stable condition, the exact cause of the fire is still being investigated by authorities.
