Man finds human penis in bottle of fruit punch

By Tillie Fong, News Staff Writer

COMMERCE CITY -- Police say a man found a penis Thursday in a bottled drink he purchased at a grocery store.
"For us, it's a mystery," said Elaine Rowe, spokeswoman for Commerce City police.

"We don't know if there is a crime involved. This could be a fraud, mutilation or attempted homicide."

Thursday morning, Juan Sanchez-Marchez, 41, a machine operator at Foothills Mail and Supply, was at work, taking his usual sips from a 20-ounce bottle of Ora Potency Fruit Punch.

After he had downed about two-thirds of the bottle, he found something in the opaque red drink.

He called over his 16-year-old son, Manuel, who also works at the shop. His boss told him that it looked like a penis and to report it to the police.

A pathologist with the Adams County coroner's office determined it was a 3-inch segment of human penis. It was cleanly cut at the base.

Authorities do not know whether the body part came from an adult or juvenile, or whether it had been taken from a cadaver or a living person.

A DNA test will be conducted on the penis, in case it may be related to an ongoing Adams County investigation where various body parts, including a head and part of a leg, have been found but not identified.

The Ora Potency Fruit Punch comes in a clear glass bottle with a label.

Sanchez-Marchez said the top was intact when he opened it.

"It's a very hard top to get off," he said.

Police do not believe that Sanchez-Marchez put the penis in the bottle.

"He's a very credible witness," Rowe said.

The drink was purchased Wednesday from the King Soopers at 6040 E. 65th Ave.

Sanchez-Marchez bought six bottles. Nothing was found in the others.

The product has been taken off the shelves at the store and from other King Soopers in the metro area.

A King Soopers spokesperson could not be reached for comment late Friday.

Rowe said the drink was dated at least a year ago and was bottled at a plant in Pittsburgh.

"They said there was no way it could have occurred there," she said.

"It's a mystery where it came from and how it got into this bottle."

I like to wank, but I'm not stupid enough to try to wank using a bottle of fruit punch. It wouldn't even fit through the neck of the bottle anyway!

'Penis' found floating in bottle was mold, cops say

- An object found in a fruit drink last week is not a human penis, as previously believed, but mold or bacteria, Commerce City, Colo., police now say.

"We worked off the best information we had," said Elaine Rowe, police spokeswoman. "We didn't have any clue that it could be anything else. It's very strange. I've never seen anything like this in law enforcement."

Last Thursday machinist Juan Sanchez-Marchez, 41, found what appeared to be a 3-inch section of a human penis in his 20-ounce Ora Potency Fruit Punch after he had downed two-thirds of the drink.

He turned it over to Commerce City police, who sent it to the Adams County (Colo.) Coroner's Office, which determined it was part of a human penis.

The police issued a press release Friday, and the drink was taken off grocery-store shelves.

Rowe said Wednesday the pathologist from the coroner's office didn't do a tissue sample but only an external examination of the object before identifying it as a penis.

Rowe said she could see how the pathologist could come to that conclusion. "If you saw it, you would have believed it," she said.

The determination that it was mold or bacteria was made Wednesday.

In the meantime, when the Denver distributor of the drink, Vancol, went through the bottles from the recall, workers made a disturbing discovery.

"They found a second bottle with a round, cylindrical object inside," said Rowe.

Vancol notified the Food and Drug Administration Tuesday, which in turn, notified Commerce City police. Investigators took the second bottle and its contents and sent it to the coroner's office for examination.

"The assumption is that it is the same thing that was in the first bottle, so it was sent off to the FDA for a more thorough test," Rowe said.

Samples of the object found in the first bottle were also sent to the FDA for additional analysis.
