Couple Finds Condom Inside Bag Of Nuts
Rifle, Colorado -- A couple who bought a bag of nuts got a surprise when they opened one and found a condom inside.
Dian Geist of Silt bought a bag of unshelled nuts from an open bin at a Wal-Mart Supercenter. She said she and her husband, Brian, had a good laugh when a bright yellow condom popped out of one nut.
The couple took the filbert nut and its contents back to Wal-Mart, where an assistant manager photographed it before the Geists took it to police.
Police said someone had drilled a hole in the nut, emptied the shell, inserted a condom then plugged the hole with wood putty.
Police Chief Daryl Meisner said it appeared no crime was committed.
"The condom was new and unused, so it probably wasn't anything malicious. I can't find where any law has been broken," he said.
Store officials weren't pleased.
"Whether someone thought it was a joke, we take it very seriously," Wal-Mart spokeswoman Karen Burk said. "This is a food-tampering issue."
