MEBANE - A 32-year-old Mebane man was in good condition Thursday at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill after a jar filled with some gunpowder blew up on him.
Mebane police and fire departments were called to 102 Merion Court, Mebane, at about 9:11 p.m. Wednesday initially in regard to a gunshot wound. When rescue personnel arrived, they discovered that Michael Stanlonis had not been shot with a gun, though he was injured.
"When we got there, we found a 32-year-old male sitting on the kitchen floor," said Mebane Fire Chief Bob Louis. "He had multiple lacerations and places where glass was embedded under his skin and he was bleeding."
Louis said that Stanlonis was allegedly trying to reload some gun shells, but he didn't have the proper equipment to do it. He had put some gunpowder in a glass jar and then lit a cigarette
"The gun powder ignited, which in turn exploded inside the glass jar and the shrapnel from the glass jar embedded in his skin," Louis said.
Stanlonis, who was at his parents' house at the time of the incident, was struck with glass in the face, neck, chest and arms. He was taken by helicopter to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill Wednesday night.
"They actually flew him out as a precautionary measure because we didn't know how deep the glass had penetrated," Louis said.
Police also are investigating the incident.
