A Florida man was arrested and charged with injecting a chemical agent with a syringe under the door of his neighbor’s condo, police say, an act of battery allegedly caught on video that was released this week.

Xuming Li, 36, was seen injecting a liquid under a neighboring family’s door at Oxford Place at Tampa Palms '“on several occasions,” according to a police report. The liquid tested positive for the narcotics methadone and hydrocodone.

    Likely true, which is why it wasn’t opiates, speaking as an RN who handles large amounts of liquid versions of them on the regular. Which is why I said the police test was garbage. If you could get folks sick with opiates on the ground, I’d be dead.

      Eh, depending on how often they’re barefoot near the door and the amount of liquid. Plus, aside from that, it doesn’t say what else is in the liquid. Saying it tests positive does not mean it’s the only thing. It could be an aerosolizing agent or some other carrier.

        I think it’s more likely they put a strong oxidizer, acid, or base in a test and interpreted that result as a positive. Cops aren’t that great with testing.
