Boss Spiked Employee’s Drink with Power Steering Fluid

The boss of an employee was accused of pouring power steering fluid into an employee’s beverage, causing the man to need urgent medical care.

On June 5, at ETE Reman, a company in Wisconsin that manufactures transmissions, an employee showed up just before 2:00 pm to work his shift. Before starting the day, he put two drinks into the break room freezer. When he took a quick break to quench his thirst, he grabbed the iced tea. When he took a sip, he believed the top had a foreign substance on it, and the drink had a strange odor. He became ill and believed it was from the beverage. The employee told his coworkers about the situation. He also informed his boss, with whom he reportedly had an adversarial relationship since he began working at the facility.

The alleged victim went to urgent care, and when human resources learned about the incident, they decided to check out the security footage to see if anything revealing was captured. The footage reportedly showed the man’s boss in the breakroom standing by the freezer with two bottles of iced tea. It also appeared as if he poured some of the contents of one of his bottles into the employee’s tea. A bottle resembling the one the boss reportedly had was found in the trash, and it was believed that it contained the remnants of steering wheel fluid. A representative from human resources spoke to the manager about the incident. He allegedly said he and the employee worked out their issues and that he was trying to play a prank.

According to reports, a woman who works at the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds took a sip from a Coca-Cola on her desk, and she thought something tasted off. She believed it had an unnatural chemical flavor. In the following weeks, the woman sipped several additional sodas that appeared to have the same unusual taste. She got sick to her stomach after drinking each of the colas, and she started to suspect someone was putting something in her beverages. On March 20, the woman installed a surveillance camera near her workstation to see if she could figure out what was going on.

Later that morning, the woman viewed the footage and reportedly saw the man with whom she shares an office standing at her desk wearing gloves and holding a tube in his hand. He allegedly held the tube over her beverage and appeared to squeeze the tube, reportedly causing the liquid to go into the soda can. Officers from the Wisconsin State Fair Park Police were in the vicinity, and the woman told them about the situation. She shared the video with them, and they searched through her coworker’s section of the office. They reportedly found a pair of gloves, one with a tube of Gorilla glue inside, and the other holding the cap.
