Social Media Rumor: Poison Hot Dogs
Posted on: October 6, 2020
Update on Oct. 29: Testing by the Division of Criminal Investigation crime lab did not find any foreign substance.
There have been rumors on social media that somebody is leaving hot dogs with poisonous pills in them in yards, presumably for pets to eat.
Earlier today, North Liberty’s police department was alerted to a single partial piece of what appears to be a hot dog, which will be tested for potential chemicals. There have not been additional reports.
As always, if you see suspicious activity, or locate a suspicious item, you can report it to countywide dispatch’s non-emergency number at (319) 356-6800. Our officers further ask that you consider checking with neighbors to see if any have a camera that might aid investigation.
