Disgrunled Employee @ CVS
CVS finds bottles of juice that may have been tampered with
DARIEN, Conn. (AP) - Bottles of fruit juice that appeared to be tampered with were found at same drugstore where grape juice that sickened dozens of churchgoers had been purchased, police said.
The bottles contained several different brands and types of juice and were found during an inventory check, police said Friday. The CVS store was shut down as a precaution, and other stores in the area were notified.
The discovery comes after 40 churchgoers at Calvary Baptist Church were sickened last Sunday. Five people were sent to the hospital with nausea and vomiting after drinking the juice during a communion service, but nobody was seriously injured.
Investigators have ruled out arsenic and other common poisons, but said they have not conclusively identified the substance, other than to say it was not life-threatening.
The latest tests have ruled out the use of a needle to inject the substance into the bottle or other tampering with the bottle, police said.
No arrests have been made and authorities are not sure of a motive.
~This was later found to be the handywork of an employee who felt he wasn't appreciated. He put dishwasing liquid in the bottles.~
