DES MOINES, Iowa -- A man who claimed discrimination after being fired from an ethanol plant for drinking "automobile fuel'' has been denied unemployment benefits. Cory Neddermeyer was dismissed by Amaizing Energy in April. The Denison-based company produces ethanol fuel for vehicles.
The formula that includes a high concentration of alcohol. According to Neddermeyer, he showed up for work on April 21 and saw that there had been a spill of fuel alcohol. The liquid, which was 190-proof, had not been blended with gasoline.
Neddermayer, a recovering alcoholic, said he was curious about its effects and taste. He said he drank between two and three ounces.
Records show that Neddermeyer was later found by co-workers in an incoherent state. He was taken to the hospital, where his blood-alcohol level, according to state records, was reported at 0.72. That's almost twice the level considered potentially fatal for many adults.
