Xin Tong, 31, has been charged with maintaining a meth lab inside Wells Hall at Michigan State University (MSU) and malicious destruction of a building over $20,000. Campus police identified Tong using his expired MSU student ID, suggesting he is a former student, although MSU's administration wouldn't confirm this. Tong was found with chemicals and equipment used to manufacture methamphetamine, which damaged approximately $20,000 worth of property in Wells Hall between April 10 and April 26. The investigation began after police were dispatched to Wells Hall on Sunday for a suspicious person and odor. Tong's bond was set at $500,000 cash, and he is being held at the Ingham County Jail. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has placed a hold on Tong. The discovery prompted MSU to evacuate the building on Monday, disrupting a final exam for students.
