[/FONT][FONT face=geneva,arial size=-2]Friday, February 24, 2006 [/FONT](02-24) 12:49 PST Pittsburgh (AP) -- [FONT size=2]A woman trying to cheat on a drug test was behind a bizarre incident in which a frightened convenience store clerk thought she had microwaved a severed penis, police said.[/FONT]
[FONT size=2][/FONT][FONT size=2]The clerk at the store outside Pittsburgh actually microwaved a prosthetic device used to cheat on drug tests, police said Friday.[/FONT]
[FONT size=2][/FONT][FONT size=2]The incident unfolded late Thursday afternoon when a man and a woman entered the store and the man asked the clerk, "Can you microwave something for me? It's a life-or-death situation," police said.[/FONT]
[FONT size=2][/FONT][FONT size=2]The man asked for paper towels, wrapped an object in them, and had the clerk microwave the item for 20 seconds, said McKeesport police Chief Joseph Pero.[/FONT]
[FONT size=2][/FONT][FONT size=2]When it was finished, the clerk handed the item back to the man and saw what she thought was a severed penis, Pero said.[/FONT]
[FONT size=2][/FONT][FONT size=2]After news reports Friday, a woman called police to say she was with the man in the store and explained what really happened, Pero said.[/FONT]
[FONT size=2][/FONT][FONT size=2]The woman told police she was applying for a job and was required to take a drug test. She said the man had filled the device with his urine, which she planned to submit for the test, Pero said.[/FONT]
[FONT size=2][/FONT][FONT size=2]The couple stopped to warm the device in the microwave so the urine would "pass the body temperature test," Pero said — that is, be warm enough to not arouse the suspicion of those administering the test.[/FONT]
[FONT size=2][/FONT][FONT size=2]Pero said police weren't sure why the woman was storing the urine in a device mimicking male genitalia.[/FONT]
[FONT size=2][/FONT][FONT size=2]The woman wasn't applying for a job at the convenience store, but Pero said he didn't know anything else about the job.[/FONT]
[FONT size=2][/FONT][FONT size=2]Pero wouldn't release the names of the man or woman. Charges, including harassment and disorderly conduct, were possible, he said.[/FONT]
[FONT size=2][/FONT][FONT size=2]The clerk at the Giant Eagle Get Go! is "still visibly shaking," Pero said Friday.[/FONT]
[FONT size=2][/FONT][FONT size=2]A clerk at the store Friday referred all questions to Giant Eagle corporate headquarters. An official there declined comment.[/FONT]
