N.H. Men Charged With Stealing Urine

[meegbear]

Two men are charged with breaking into a probation and parole office in Manchester, New Hampshire in an apparent attempt to retrieve drug-tainted urine samples.

Peter O'Neill, 33, who was on parole at the time, and Michael Neuner, 19, are accused of breaking into the office January 4.

People on parole or probation routinely provide urine samples to prove they are not using alcohol or drugs. The Corrections Department told the Union Leader samples are stored in freezers at parole offices until they are sent to the State Police Lab for testing.

The burglars destroyed the keypad entry system on the building's front door, used a crowbar to try to pry it open and smashed a window to get in. More than a dozen samples were stolen.

O'Neill was arrested soon after. When he was searched, police found a letter written by Neuner to his sister in which he confessed to burglarizing the office, according to court records.

Neuner later told police he didn't want to burglarize the office but did it because he was afraid of O'Neill. He said O'Neill told him to smash the office's computers to make it look like juveniles broke into the office.

Both men are due to be arraigned Thursday on felony burglary and theft charges.

1. I wonder if they're the same guys who robbed the liquor store several years ago

The clerk told them he couldn't open the cash register (which they believed :eyes: ) so they took his wallet (which contained about ten bucks) and all the scratch lottery tickets.

When they tried to cash in some of the tickets, they were arrested. :rofl:
