ALBANY, N.Y. — A man allegedly spread at least six pounds of liquid mercury in various locations at Albany Medical Center because he was in a billing dispute with administrators.
Martin Kimber reportedly put the toxic substance in the hospital cafeteria’s salad bar, in a toaster, in an ice cream freezer and on chicken tenders, The Christian Science Monitor reports. A hospital employee who ate the chicken tenders was treated in the emergency room.
Kimber, who is a licensed pharmacist, faces up to life in prison for two chemical weapon counts, and up to 10 years for product tampering.
