STOCKTON, Calif. — Deputies say two people were hurt after a butane honey oil lab exploded at a Stockton hotel room.

It happened Monday morning at the Stockton Inn on Waterloo Road. San Joaquin County Sheriff's deputies said they arrived and found two people injured, 20-year-old Nicole Rodriguez and her 38-year-old boyfriend. 

Deputies initially said three people were injured after the explosion, but that was walked back when authorities confirmed a three-month-old child wasn't hurt. The child was released to the care of social services.

Rodriguez was treated and released from a hospital after being injured in the explosion. She was arrested and booked into the San Joaquin County jail on charges of manufacturing a controlled substance and willful cruelty to a child. 

Her boyfriend had serious injuries after the explosion and will be facing similar charges when he's released from the hospital.

There were no other injuries.
