Decayed flesh found in bank's night deposit

After the holiday weekend, employees at a
Charlottesville bank came back to work Tuesday to a
rotten surprise - the putrid scent of decaying flesh.
“Somebody pulled a prank on the bank,” said Thomas
Cole, branch manager of Patriot Bank on Harris Road.
He declined to comment further.
Shortly before 8:45 a.m., bank employees complained of
a “nauseous, pungent odor,” according to Battalion
Chief Raymond James of the Charlottesville Fire
Department.
“Something had been slipped into the night depository
to the safe,” James said. “It was treated as a hazmat
situation.”
The employees and first responders to the scene were
quarantined, James said. Two crewmembers in full
protective gear entered the bank and found the item
surrounded by fluid on the floor of the safe. They
were also quarantined.
According to Charlottesville police Sgt. David Jones,
the decaying matter is more than likely tripe, the
lining of a cow’s stomach.
“It wasn’t human matter,” Jones said.
The decaying matter was tucked in a plastic grocery
bag, James said.
Officials contacted the University of Virginia’s
Department of Environmental Health and Safety for
additional help.
“They assist in a lot of these responses,” James said.
After disinfecting the area, the bank reopened late
Tuesday morning. Jones said the investigation has been
suspended.
