Employees at a trucking company in the 6200 block of Gross Point Road, Niles, said a man, who lives in Hainesville, came into the business Tuesday to inquire about a job application he had recently submitted.
While waiting for a response, the man told employees approximately four times that if he didn't get a job he would buy poison and kill himself. He told a responding police officer that he has been unemployed for a year and is very upset about it. He also told them he did not have money to buy food. He agreed to speak with a doctor, and the Niles Fire Department transported him to Resurrection Hospital.
