Guilford, NY - Delivery Man Admits Swallowing Diamond Ring

Guilford, NY - Police are waiting to collect the evidence in the case of a furniture delivery man who gulped down a diamond ring. One official with the Chenango County Sheriff's Department says they'll get the ring, "when nature takes its course."

The waiting game began after 35-year-old Michael Kuchinski of Binghamton admitted he swallowed the ring, worth about $1,000, after he saw it on a bedroom dresser. Sheriff's deputies took the man to the hospital in Norwich, where doctors used an X-ray to determine he wouldn't be harmed as a result of ingesting the ring. Kuchinski then was admitted to the hospital after he said he felt ill.

Kuchinski was charged with larceny and criminal tampering for delaying the recovery of the ring.
