The water supply of a Super 8 motel in New Mexico has been shut down after a guest said a piece of methamphetamine came out of a faucet and struck them in the eye on Thursday.
The crystal-like substance - which cops later determined to be meth - was found in multiple locations throughout the 2-star inn, located off Highway 70 in Portales, about 230 miles east of Albuquerque.
Rocks were found in another sink and inside of an ice machine on Friday, stoking fears that the drug could be circulating throughout the motel's water supply, according to the Portales Police Department.
The guest who was hit in the eye was not injured.
The hotel has been cleared of guests
