According to the Lansing State journal, Tong repeatedly visited Wells Hall (an MSU building with specialized labs) from April 10 untill he was arrested on April 26, identified by an expired MSU ID card found on him.<\/p>\n<p>On April 16, MSU police responding to reports of a suspicious person, an odor, and substances reportedly found Tong in Wells Hall. Authorities said a later search uncovered materials for meth production, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >including sodium hydroxide pellets<\/a>, hydrochloric acid, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and butane. Tong was charged with misdemeanor trespassing and felony counts tied to operating and maintaining a meth lab.<\/p>\n<p>MSU officials also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/attackers-throw-molotov-cocktails-at-jewish-home-in-israel\/\" title=\"Attackers Throw Molotov Cocktails at Jewish Home in Israel\">reported property damage<\/a> and unknown substances smeared on floors and doors. After the arrest, the university shut down Wells Hall-first temporarily for exam-week preparations, then for the remainder of the week-after investigators decided to evacuate to better determine the substances involved. MSU\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/far-left-cheers-as-homeless-group-seizes-hotel-near-tacoma-city-leaders-negotiating-with-group-as-police-refuse-to-intervene\/\" title=\"Far Left Cheers As Homeless Group Seizes Hotel Near Tacoma; City Leaders Negotiating With Group As Police Refuse To Intervene\">police chief<\/a> said damages were more than an initial estimate of $20,000.<\/p>\n<p>As of may 3, Tong was held at the Ingham County Jail on a $500,000 cash bond and reportedly could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. His record also showed the Department of Homeland Security had placed a hold on him for undisclosed reasons,and officials said the matter is an active examination limiting what they can publicly share.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A former Michigan State University student reportedly used the school\u2019s research labs to cook methamphetamine in a stunt that bears some similarity to the premise of the cult classic \u201cBreaking Bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former student,\u00a031-year-old Xin Tong, began visiting Wells Hall on April 10, continuing up to the day he was caught on April 26, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lansingstatejournal.com\/story\/news\/local\/campus\/2026\/04\/30\/suspect-in-msu-meth-lab-bust-was-former-student-with-expired-id-card\/89872807007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lansing State Journal<\/a>.
