Well, this sure started off in disturbing fashion.
McKeesport Police say a man walked into the store, located on Fifth Avenue, and asked the clerk to use the microwave oven. After the clerk noticed a strange smell coming from the microwave, she told police she opened the door and discovered human male genitalia wrapped in a paper towel cooking inside. McKeesport police told KDKA the man fled with the severed body part after she made the discovery. She then called the police. According to police, blood was found on the bathroom floor.
But in an update 12 hours later:
Investigators have since learned that it was not a real body part; but instead, it was part of a couple’s alleged plan to pass a drug test. According to McKeesport’s police chief, a man and a woman had inserted urine into a fake penis that the woman was planning to use to pass a drug test. One of them then went into the store and asked the clerk to microwave the object, which they had wrapped in a paper towel, so the urine could reach body temperature. [...] Giant Eagle, the company that owns Get-Go, says the microwave involved in the incident was immediately removed from service and will be discarded.
So, a happy ending, I guess. Sort of. But, um, what about the blood on the bathroom floor?
TrackBackWaitaminuit. The woman was going to use a fake penis to pass a drug test? Wouldn't that be a little, um, suspicious?
And as to the microwave, why would it need to be discarded? More likely -- sold on ebay.
