LANSING, Mich. (AP) - "A man has been jailed on assault charges after a prosecutor, police officer and courtroom bailiff became seriously ill after shaking hands with him.
During a Dec. 21 court appearance on a traffic charge, John Ridgeway pulled out a vial of an unknown liquid, rubbed his hands with the contents and insisted on shaking hands with the three people, authorities said.
All of them got sick within an hour, suffering from nausea, headaches, numbness and tingling that lasted about a day. Two sought treatment at a hospital.
Ridgeway, 41, told the Associated Press in a telephone interview from jail Thursday that the substance was olive oil. He questioned whether the three officials were sick at all, and charged that the allegations were fabricated.
"They've got a vendetta against me because I took a ticket to a jury trial," he said."
LMFAO. Sweet geez but that's funny. Strong olive oils, especially when laced with pepper CAN stimulate an allergic reaction in some folks but it's far from a dangerous substance. The incident did happen in Michigan...EEEK! The EVIL Mediterranean man touched me with oils!... and they're all lucky he didn't mix in some essence of salt-water fish because those anemic white breads prolly would have dropped dead on the spot.
