On the Clinical Waste Discussion Forum, we have reported many individual incidents of carelessly discarded used needles, thrown into the undergrowth or worse into soft sand, in church yards and playgrounds, and on occasions used as an offensive weapon.

This on ranks high on the list of weird:

“A bizarre story out of Powell County where a woman is accused of trying to hide a used needle in a teenager’s pants while running from police.

Stanton Police say 26-year-old Nicki Jones tried to hide a used needle in a teenager’s pants in order to prevent being caught with it by police, who were already hot on her heels due to an active warrant for her arrest.

16-year-old Brenda Compton says she and a friend were sitting in the breezeway at Pinecreek Apartments when they were startled by a stranger who had a very strange request.

“She came running through the hallway and told me to hide the needle. We freaked out and I told her that I wasn’t going to hide anything for her,” said Brenda Compton, who describes the experience as terrifying. “She pulled my pants down and was trying to stick the needle down my pants.”

Thankfully, the needle was capped.”
