Warehouse Explosion Linked to Illegal Drug Operation | Tulsa News

Two lives were lost in a deadly warehouse explosion in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, after the business behind it — Solos Extracts LLC — was found operating without valid licenses. Owner Ryan Bassham, who turned himself in and posted a $2 million bond, now faces first-degree murder charges for allegedly manufacturing controlled substances illegally. Court documents reveal critical safety violations, including an unapproved extraction booth and faulty fire suppression systems, which had been flagged months before the blast — yet no corrective action was taken. One victim reportedly warned responders about poor ventilation moments before the explosion. Bassham’s name wasn’t even on the required narcotics registration, making his operation entirely illegal under Oklahoma law.
