A Springfield man was arrested for assault on Monday evening after he allegedly threw his used colostomy bag at a nurse at Memorial Medical Center. Dale D. Anderson, 62, of the 1000 block of South 11th Street was taken to Sangamon County Jail following the incident, which happened at about 6 p.m. at the front desk of the emergency room.
Witnesses told police Anderson showed up at the hospital and wanted someone to check his colostomy bag because there was blood in it. He became angry when a nurse was unable to look at it. He then went into a bathroom, returned a short time later and threw the used colostomy bag at her, barely missing her. The bag landed on the floor, making a mess, witnesses said.
