A Florida man was arrested and charged with injecting a chemical agent with a syringe under the door of his neighbor’s condo, police say, an act of battery allegedly caught on video that was released this week.

Xuming Li, 36, was seen injecting a liquid under a neighboring family’s door at Oxford Place at Tampa Palms '“on several occasions,” according to a police report. The liquid tested positive for the narcotics methadone and hydrocodone.

    I hope they pile on the charges as this develops. His initial charges are weak compared to what he did. He needs at least 20 years in prison

    Fun Fact: Tampa is where all of the serial killers go to retire.

    I heard this from people in central FL and I believe it because most 60+ folks I know that live there watch ID channel like it’s a “How To” text book.

    Seal your front doors properly, people. It keeps insects and the weather out. (And apparently opiate drugs as well.)

    Impossible to get someone sick with opiates squirted on the ground. Shit test with false positives I’m sure.

        Likely true, which is why it wasn’t opiates, speaking as an RN who handles large amounts of liquid versions of them on the regular. Which is why I said the police test was garbage. If you could get folks sick with opiates on the ground, I’d be dead.

          Eh, depending on how often they’re barefoot near the door and the amount of liquid. Plus, aside from that, it doesn’t say what else is in the liquid. Saying it tests positive does not mean it’s the only thing. It could be an aerosolizing agent or some other carrier.

            I think it’s more likely they put a strong oxidizer, acid, or base in a test and interpreted that result as a positive. Cops aren’t that great with testing.

      Impossible is a strong word, but ya. There was definitely something else going one. Just injecting some liquid opiates under a door shouldn’t really do much unless people walk around barefoot directly on the liquid.

        Shouldn’t even smell. Back in the day shooting the syringe onto the floor is how the old nurses wasted opiates, lol. I think he used some oxidizer to create a noxious gas and their opiate tests are showing a false positive.
