JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - A woman is accused of injecting a cleaning solution into her husband's IV bag while he lay in his hospital bed recovering from surgery.
Millie Edwards, 35, of Fulton, Mo., was charged with first-degree assault Thursday hours after a nurse discovered that someone had tampered with the man's IV bag, authorities said. The man is expected to survive. "Her husband was in the hospital for elective surgery," Police Capt. Mike Smith said. "They had been married for 18 years and we understand they had been having some family issues recently."
After she was arrested, Edwards allegedly admitted injecting "Oops! All-Purpose Remover" into her husband's IV solution, police said. According to court documents, she allegedly purchased the solution at a nearby Wal-Mart and hoped it would trigger a heart attack.
"The suspect was in the room when the nurse noticed something was wrong," Smith said. "We are still looking into what may have motivated her to do this."
Medical personnel provided emergency treatment after the man started showing symptoms that were unrelated to the condition for which he was hospitalized.
