NY POST PAGE SIX: dozens get sick from tainted olives @ NYC gay bar

The NY Post's Page Six has reported that dozens if not a hundred people became seriously ill and almost died apparently after ingesting tainted olives in their cocktails at the popular NYC gay bar, Splash on Saturday night. Splash bar owner's had no comment but chemical analysis performed on one of the tainted olives seems to indicate that the olives were saturated with a recreational drug commonly known as "Poppers" or Amyl Nitrate.

Witnesses report having seen three suspicious men at the back of the downstairs bar near where the tainted olives were stored. The three suspects were carrying on loudly, banging the windows of the bar's urinals, molesting some of the bar staff, and one witness claims to have seen a bottle of poppers in the hand of one of the men. Another witness commented that the more muscular and hairiest of the three men was quite boisterous and loud and was seen pulling his own pants down on several occassions. Witnesses identified the three suspects known as, Erik S., Alan G., and Danny R., who were seen promptly leaving the premises of Splash bar, just minutes before the first of a dozen men became ill after ingesting the olives in their cocktails. Police investigators were called immediately, who then tracked two of the suspects to another local NYC gay bar, The Eagle. More witnesses at the Eagle claim that two of the men were seen engaging in sexual misconduct and again harassing bar staff and patrons.
