Travis Richard claims that he got high and his son got sick from drinking
coffee made in the coffee pot in an Omaha, Nebraska hotel room.
Travis, his wife Amber, and their young children were staying at the Ramada Inn (I actually stayed at this very hotel, it was decent) in Omaha over Labor Day weekend when his alleged "highness" occurred. Mr. Richard claims that he made coffee in their room's coffee pot, drank it, and then felt high about twenty minutes later. He also gave his two-year-old son a sip of the coffee and it made the little boy sick. Who would give a two-year-old a sip of coffee? Not me, unless the child was dying of thirst in a desert or stuck on a mountain.
The family went to the hospital where the father and son were tested for drugs. And, sure enough, the test came back positive for an amphetamine, although it is unclear at this time if the amphetamine was indeed crystal methamphetamine.
The Richards think that a former guest hid or put crystal meth in the hotel room's coffee pot for some reason. The hotel staff isn't really convinced that the man got high on their supply... of coffee, that is.
I'm not saying Richard is lying, and I'm not saying that he is telling the truth; but if somebody wanted to sue a hotel and get rich, this is a wonderful and original way to do it. If he did make up the story, I say to Mr. Richard: "Good one. You're pretty clever."
