Eight children were taken to the hospital after they were ill at the summer camp in Lestershire. The 76 -year -old was arrested with suspicion of intoxication.
On Sunday, July 27, at about 4 pm, police officers attended the Canal Lane Camp in Satherno village, receiving reports that the group was feeling bad.
After being transported to the Triage center in a nearby village hall, Plungar, each child was evaluated by the Ambulance Service and eight to the Queen Medical Center as a precaution.

A spokesman for The Trust said that although they support the building’s maintenance, the center is self -processed and hired for educational leave and events of various organizations. It has no direct participation in the camp.
Since then, each child has been dismissed and their parents have been informed.
A 76-year-old man was arrested in the camp suspecting that a poison was appointed to be injured and remained in police custody.
On Thursday afternoon, the Police Cordon remained in place of Canal Lane right next to a small village.
There were two police cars and three officers in Cordon and other police vehicles left the site.

A spokesman for the East Midlands Ambulance Service said they had attended Plungar at 4 pm after being warned of the “medical emergency”.
They sent a lot of resources, including four paramedics in ambulances, ten crews ambulance and ambulance.
Meanwhile, Lestershire police also said she had directed to the independent police behavior (IOPC) on what she said was “the circumstances of the initial police response.”
A IOPC spokesman said: “On Tuesday (July 29), we received a behavioral sending from the lestershire police related to their concerns, which were related to the welfare of the children’s group.
“Our evaluation team examined all the evidence available and concluded that IOPC should independently investigate.
“The investigation will examine whether there were any violations of professional behavior, precisely because he did not perform duties and responsibilities, which led to the reaction of the Lestershire police to what was later declared a critical event.”
Edar Argar, a conservative member of Melton and Syston Parliament, said the reports were “clearly shocking” and “deep”.
“Our thoughts are with the affected young people – we wish them complete recovery,” he added.
“Although, of course, people will have a lot of questions about what has happened, it is important that we remember that this is a living police criminal investigation, so I would be careful about guessing people before the police are doing that job.
“However, I would call the police to provide as much information as possible, but without violating that vital investigation.”
