First arresting officer and first arrest report.
Mercury has been around so long that no one knows the name of the person who discovered it. since people started hearing all about this element from the Chinese and Indians, people and scientists have stated that the Chinese and Indians will receive the credit. Mercury has been known since way before egyption times when they used mercury in their tombs. so that was before 2000 BEC!
