Officers investigating the circumstances surrounding a woman becoming unwell at the Isle of Wight Festival have made an arrest.
It was reported to police that a 26-year-old woman needed medical assistance after she used a vape that was offered to her by a man at the festival on Saturday 17th June.
It is alleged that whilst in a food queue the woman was approached by the male who asked if she wanted to try his vape.
Following enquiries, a 51-year-old man from Rochester, Kent, was arrested in Kent on suspicion of administering a poison or noxious substance with intent.
He remains in custody at this time.






























































































The country should ban Vaping.
It is more Dangerous than smoking, all will be revealed in years to come.
Only an Idiot would Vape, it is like watching grown ups sucking a dummy like they are a baby
again
Patches on the arm is much safer than smoking or vaping
and we don’t have to smell or breathe in their sh*t
Dirty B’stards
By 2030 smoking will be banned in the world, whether they will also
Ban Vaping I am not too sure.
Spot on. However these were not more strictly controlled I have no idea. If used to aid smoking cessation they should be limited to supply by Pharmacies and supplied under a strict protocol and records kept.
Anyone can sell them with no conscience and no knowledge. They are potentially very dangerous. Online supplies should be banned too.
Population control.
idiots are bringing this in themselves by their no care attitude to their smoking and vaping, should not be allowed in public.. !
So I take it that you, like most of the others on here, are a self proclaimed expert in the field. Could you share your findings with us? It seems the answers to all the issues in today’s society can be solved just by reading the comments section. Shall I steer the WHO in this direction. Then you can submit your thesis. Or are you just full of hot air?
No point in involving The Who, they likely indulged in far worse than a vape.
Point is not the vaping, it is the ‘sort’ the UK allow in without stringent checks who commit vile crimes to us woman nowadays.
So are we to assume as ‘it’ was from Kent, it is a farmer, or hop grower, or is it as I suspect something a little more alien to our fold?
she should be arrested for crass stupidity!
Future ban for the scum don’t want or need those type here.
I was originally from Kent seems like many places has become troubled area.
I don’t know why they host the festival on the Island.
All it does is encourage thousands of people to come to the
Island and get stoned.
Thousands of people get stoned on this island every day.
Very true that is why we don’t need more idiots coming over.
More idiots refrain than partake. You being a prime example
Because it would be weird if the Isle Of Wight Festival was held in Nottingham.
Maybe you should? Then maybe you could provide a balanced argument.
I’m not condoning what this guy done, but why would you share something with a complete stranger that goes in your mouth?
Absolutely, has she not heard of covid
I don’t think the tens of thousands that attended were worried about bloody COVID!
Didn’t that come about after the medical procedures were dished out.
He hasn’t done anything yet. Resist the temptation to prejudge. All we know is she tried some vape.
Apparently he was behind her in a queue and kept badgering her to try his new vape flavour. Did it to make him go away.
Not wise, but perfectly understandable as few are aware of any acute danger from vapes.
That’s like saying ‘he kept badgering her to perform felatio. Said yes to make him go away’
Don’t be such a cretin. It’s nothing at all like that and you know it.
Stupid to take something from a complete stranger who would do that let alone but something in your mouth that some stranger has had in theirs
This is why the old farts should be not allowed out to play
To say your repertoire is extremely limited, would be quite the understatement. It also shows us all here the level of your intelligence.
Stuart we found ur small pecker at last
Why would she use something that has been in his mouth anyway, sheer stupidity on her part!
Don’t think he was using, possibly trying to sell. If he was using then he would also possibly of become unwell,in photos he looked kind and persuasive! Sorry if you read story on Facebook you would understand better.
Exactly.
But why would a simple truth get in the way of the miserable old codgers whe seen to hate anyone under 30 jumping to conclusions.
What truth? It’s all heresay. Until it’s investigated we don’t know
I know a few people that attended the festival and 3 of them came back with Covid… have not seen any reports about Covid from the festival.. or do they not like to advertise it, so as not to hinder next years ticket sales… ?? Too many people in such a small space.. keep at least a meter apart… ha ha ha ha ha !! each breathing each others breath…yuck.. and what is the mess like that these filthy people left behind.. ?
You are obsessed. It’s a major music festival, people don’t care about that s@#t anymore!
For God sake miserable lot on here get a life .as for the scum bag hope they lock him up
Totally agree 100%
Totally agree. Well said end of– bla bla bla !
Hopefully they’ll prosecute in Kent as on the island he’d only get a little bit of community service
