Pleasanton Man Thinks He and 2-Year-Old Son Poisoned by Meth in Hotel Coffee Maker

METHKEARNEY, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska husband and wife think he and their 2-year-old son were poisoned by methamphetamine-tainted coffee he made in an Omaha hotel room.

Travis and Amber Richard and their children spent Labor Day weekend in Omaha. He says he used the coffee maker in their room on Sept. 6 and a package of coffee. He says he began to feel weird within 20 minutes of drinking the coffee and that his son Daykin, who took a sip, got sick on their drive back home. Both sought medical treatment when they got home to Pleasanton and are awaiting confirmation from tests.

Omaha police are investigating but doubt the coffee maker was used to make meth. It’s unclear whether a trace was left by someone using the coffee maker to hide meth.
