A Florida man drank a cup of bleach moments after he was found of guilty of armed robbery during his court hearing.
Jermaine Bell, 38, was jailed for three years in custody for a robbery that occurred in December 2018 after he brandished a gun at several workers at Millennium Engine Plating. Bell, according to the investigators, pretended to be a courier while performing the crime. Bell reportedly drank the chemical from a white, disposable cup before an officer approached him and requested him to throw it away. He didn’t sit down, but he kept drinking from the cup as reported by Local 10.
Moments later, Bell developed a severe illness and was sent to a nearby hospital for treatment. His status was described as stable.
