Mercury spill forces evacuation at Haskell Health Center
A broken wall mounted mercury blood pressure gauge spilled about a teaspoonful of mercury in a room at the Haskell Indian Nations University Health Center. The room was evacuated and sealed until Douglas County Fire & Medical could assess cleanup. An independent contractor will handle the cleanup after KDHE consultation. Police uncover what appears to solve a campus burglary as a bank fraud suspect, a HINU student, leads to stolen items valued at $11,560 from Hiawatha Hall. Some items remain missing, and the case moves to prosecutors.
