Er…quick replies would be appreciated. Ciao!

> On Saturday, Brooks told a jail guard that he might have put mercury in the water supply for Beaver or Vanport at the end of a four-day crack binge on Jan. 6, said Warden William Schouppe. Beaver police and county authorities were immediately notified, Schouppe said.
>
> When he was arrested by Rochester police, Brooks was carrying two large baby food jars filled with mercury, said county emergency services director Wes Hill, who sent two members of the county’s hazardous materials team to retrieve the mercury. The jars were then secured at the 911 center, Hill said.

> According to an incident report by Beaver police, Brooks said he was at his mother’s house in Vanport on Jan. 5 going through items left to him by his late father, which included two jars of mercury. Thinking that he could sell them, Brooks said, he took the jars.
