Dad Pepper-Sprays Camp Nurse Over Medication Dispute: PD

SPRING VALLEY, NY — Police are looking for a man who, they said, sprayed an unknown chemical on two staff members of a summer camp at Spring Valley High School Monday. The initial police investigation, which the department posted on Facebook, found that a parent of a child attending the summer camp sprayed a substance on two people, causing them to need medical attention.

A lock down, which has since been lifted, was briefly put in place at the high school.

The Journal News reported that the father, who has been identified but not located or charged, had a disagreement over his son's medication and pepper-sprayed the camp program's nurse and another staffer.

He then left the building, and the nurse was treated and released at a local hospital.
