STONE RIDGE, N.Y. -- A Marbletown man was arrested Friday on endangerment-related charges after police responded to the Marbletown Elementary School following a report of a minor explosion in one of the classrooms, Ulster County Sheriff Paul J. VanBlarcum said.
Thomas D. Fitzgerald, 52, of 3701 Route 209, is alleged to have sent a quantity of dry ice in a sealed container in his 5-year-old child’s backpack in connection with a school experiment, unbeknownst to any school staff member. The explosion was caused by expanding gases inside the container, the Sheriff’s Office said.
There were no injuries and only minor property damage to a chair, VanBlarcum said. The 5-year-old was not wearing the backpack at the time of the explosion, he said.
Fitzgerald was charged with the misdemeanors of reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal nuisance. He was released with tickets to return to Marbletown Town Court.
An investigation is continuing, according to VanBlarcum, who said the incident is considered to have been an accident.
Besides sheriff’s deputies, state police at Ulster and Wawarsing and their bomb disposal unit were at the scene.
He should have sent a 2L Coke and a pack of Mentos.
There's safer ways to play with CO2.
Oh gee and let’s not forget the good ol Supremes let the EPA call it the big bad wolf so they can regulate everything to save us from globull warming.
What a bunch of nonsense
We breathe it out and it’s plant food !
Cheers
The Supreme Court has made a mockery of itself... nothing illustrates this better than their CO2 ruling.
Gee I dunno. Roberts twisting the the commerce clause to a tax to make obummycare (née democrap wish list 40+ yr socialized med) legal I think has surpassed even the folly of declaring what we exhale pollution
Kudos to sen Cruz and the house for finally taking a stand
I hop they don’t fold. Obummer is really getting his slinky feathers mighty ruffled!
Don’t ha think? Did you hear that enourmous joke of a pressed the other day? I’ve never heard anything like it. He is unhinged at best
( one would only hope- it will take him busting out a machine gun and taking out some of his sycophantic press in order for them to wake up
Cheers
