Man thinks he and his son were poisoned by meth in hotel coffee maker

Yikes.

A Nebraska man believes he and his 2-year-old son were poisoned by a methamphetamine-tainted coffee maker at an Omaha hotel.

Travis and Amber Richard and their children spent Labor Day weekend in Omaha.

He says he used the coffee maker and coffee package in their room on Sept. 6 and began to feel weird within 20 minutes of drinking the coffee.

He says his son also took a sip and got sick on the drive back home to Pleasanton. Both sought medical treatment and are awaiting confirmation from tests.

Yeah, I never use the in room makers.  I just get my coffee from the front.

This story makes no sense to me. Why would the man jump to the conclusion that there was meth (of all things) in the coffeemaker just because he "felt weird"? Why would the news report a random man "believes" he accidentally ingested meth? How did the reporter even find out about this case? If the medical tests come back negative for meth, will they print a retraction?

What I don't get... Who allows their 2-year-old a sip of coffee?
