2:33 p.m.- A citizen brought a large glass vial filled with liquid into the PD in an attempt to identify what it was and what to do with it. The citizen suspected it may be tear gas.

It was also used as a theft deterrent on the inside of large safe doors. If a burglar attempted to break into the safe, it would activate this chemical irritant. Arrangements were made for the Marathon County Bomb Squad to dispose of the liquid.
