Oklahoma man charged with murder after 2 killed in explosion at marijuana extraction facility
Investigators say a THC extraction process caused the blast, and Bassham faces two murder charges after posting bond.
- Ryan Bassham, 35, surrendered to the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office on Sunday, facing two first-degree murder charges following the deadly explosion at his Solos Extracts facility in Sand Springs on Thursday, August 27.
- Prosecutors claim hazardous materials used in a THC extraction process triggered the blast at the Morrow Gill Business Park, where the fire marshal had previously ordered the facility to stop operating due to failed inspections.
- Michael Newman and Stephen Scott, both Bassham employees, died in the 1 a.m. blast, which damaged more than 20 businesses at the complex. City inspectors subsequently called every building in the area "unhabitable."
- Bassham was booked into the Tulsa County Jail and released after posting a $2 million bond, with the Tulsa County District Attorney filing two first-degree murder charges at $1 million bail per count.
- Ongoing investigations by the Oklahoma State Bureau and ATF are examining the blast's cause, having identified large amounts of liquid propane and outdated fire suppression systems at the facility earlier this year.
