Roadside sauce sickens 2

2009 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Two local men remained at Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids Monday, Dec. 29, after becoming violently ill from ingesting some type of liquid, according to the Oceana County Sheriff’s Department.

Details Monday were sketchy, because the incident was under investigation.

A Mears man in his late 30s was airlifted to Spectrum Monday at approximately noon. The other man, a Mears resident whose age was unavailable, was transferred to Spectrum some time over the weekend, said Lt. Tim Priese.

The men indicated to police that they found what appeared to be moonshine near an Oceana County roadway. They drank the substance some time over the weekend and later became violently ill, they told police. The men suffered from vomiting and stomach cramps, Priese said.

Moonshine isn't the only clear liquid found in typically unlabeled bottles. These guys are incredibly lucky that they only suffered stomach cramps and vomiting. Thanks, Dave.

I agree with Bruce. The only other similar story in the archives is the one where two idiots manning a community dumpster drank from a discarded bottle containing antifreeze! Idiots then, more idiots now.
