Have some urine in your morning coffee?
Man Jailed For Putting Urine In Coffee At Work
Co-Workers Say Man Put Urine In Coffee Pot For Several Months

UPDATED: 6:18 am CDT September 19, 2006

AKRON, Ohio -- There will be no trial for an Ohio postal worker accused of urinating in his co-workers' coffee.

Thomas Shaheen admitted Monday that he put urine in the break room coffee pot at the Wolf Ledges, Ohio, post office branch earlier this year. Shaheen was sentenced to six months in a jail work release program.

He was also ordered to pay his co-workers $1,200 to reimburse them for the video camera they rented to help capture him in the act.

Shaheen told his former co-workers during his sentencing that he was sorry for what he did.

"I just wanted to tell you I'm really sorry," said Shaheen. "I don't know what came over me. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. I'm really sorry, I just want to get my life over, get my life going again."

But before he apologized and was sentenced, some of the postal employees he worked with at the transportation maintenance shop gave Shaheen a piece of their minds.

"He not only watched us drink the coffee but the majority of the shop, his own friends and fellow workers, about 20 of us all together, he would sit in the same room with people and watch them drink his sick little brew and think nothing of it," said postal worker Jene Jackson.

Like any child. Notice how they are never punished either. Like Willie yesterday, what do you think would have happened to me if I would have got nabbed with a pound and a half of pot?

I like Willie, but it is just so unequal, it gets me down...

8. "Don't know what came over me"?! This was not a one time incident...
according to the article he did it "several times in a four- to six-month period.. enough that his co-workers picked up that something was being done to the coffee or they wouldn't have rigged up a video camera to catch him in the act.

The judge missed the boat on this one. This man doesn't just need jail with a "work release" he needs psych. help if he's doing this type of stuff for a prolonged period of time like that. Hopefully he was tested for certain communicable diseases since there is a risk there as well.
