Feb. 5 Seymour PD worked a case today in which an uncapped syringe was discarded inside the tube of a roll of bathroom tissue in a public restroom. An unknowing patron then accidentally punctured their finger on the uncapped needle
Unlawfully possessing a syringe is a level 6 felony in Indiana. As such, these are often discarded where people least expect to find them and are even tossed out car windows into yards where children play
Please contact Seymour Police so that we can dispose of these in a safe manner. If you can, stay near the syringe to point it out and keep others away. If you must leave the area DO NOT MOVE the needle, but try to place a marking object near it to make it easier for us to recover.
