THE STATE JOURNAL-REGISTER
Posted Apr 07, 2010 @ 07:45 AM
A Springfield man was arrested for assault Monday evening after he allegedly threw his used colostomy bag at a nurse at Memorial Medical Center.
Dale D. Anderson, 62, of the 1000 block of South 11th Street was taken to Sangamon County Jail following the incident, which happened about 6 p.m. at the front desk of the emergency room.
Witnesses told police Anderson showed up at the hospital and wanted someone to check his colostomy bag because there was blood in it. He became angry when a nurse was unable to look at it. He then went into a bathroom, returned a short time later and threw the used colostomy bag at her, barely missing her. The bag landed on the floor, making a mess, witnesses said.
Police arrested Anderson at First and Carpenter streets.
Thanks Peter for the lovely addition.
