DENVER (AP) – A Colorado woman has been cited by police after a container of what appeared to be urine blew up as she was heating it up in a microwave at a 7-Eleven.
Police say the incident occurred in the convenience store chain’s Aurora location last week when the clerk heard a loud bang and saw 26-year-old Angelique Sanchez take a white plastic bottle out of the microwave.
“I really don’t know any good reason why anyone would want to warm up urine.. one plausible explanation would be maybe they have a urine test that is coming up so they stick it in the microwave, put it in there for 10 seconds,” said Dr. Comilla Sasson.
The clerk who was on duty at the time says she heard a loud bang after Sanchez placed the container in the microwave. When the clerk asked Sanchez to clean the mess up, she didn’t and left.
Police were called and they eventually found Sanchez at a nearby health clinic waiting for a physical and a urinalysis for a job. According to the police report, Sanchez told the officer that she cleaned the mess up and did not understand the problem.
The officer reminded her that the urine blew up where people heat up their food.
The officer said he told Sanchez the microwave is worth $500 and issued her a summons for damaged property.
