Yikes! Five residents of a home for people with disabilities were taken to a hospital after a worker spilled her prescription pills into cake batter. The good news: All the residents were fine.
The Connecticut Department of Development Services placed the employee on leave after pills were found in a cake served at the home. The Department is investigating, according to the Republican-American.
A spokesman says the pills were an antihistamine.
The employee told state police her prescription bottle tipped over while she was making the cake. She says she didn’t realize some of the pills fell into the batter. Police haven’t filed charges.

First, I cant believe an open container of pills was on the counter, why? Second, how did she not notice they spilled in? and Finally, This is extremely odd and it seems as if the worker is not careful.

Yeah, right. The medication bottle opened itself and accidentally fell into the batter. Give me a break. Sounds like a convenient coverup by the defendent. Guilty!!

If it was a cover up, wouldn’t she have at least used tranquilizers or something, but antihistimines?
