Edwin Ledgard, 36, of 111 S. Summit St., was not on duty at the Frisch's Big Boy, 3537 Secor Rd., when he went to the restaurant shortly after 4 p.m. Friday, walked into the kitchen, and removed from his pocket three 100-milliliter vials of a drug used to treat anemia in baby pigs, police said.
He dumped contents of two of the vials into a brewing pot of coffee, then poured the third's contents into an empty salt shaker before dumping that into the coffee as well, the report states. Another restaurant employee saw Ledgard's actions and took the vials from him and secured them. Police identified the drug as Dextran, also known as Iron-100, which is injected into suckling pigs' muscles to correct iron deficiency after birth. Information about the potential consequences of human ingestion was not readily available Saturday night.
