A Wisconsin man stands accused of spiking his female co-worker's drink -- this after he was allegedly caught red-handed on a hidden camera she set up.
According to Milwaukee County court records, Joseph R. Ross, 34, was charged with one felony count of placing foreign objects in edibles after he allegedly put super glue in his co-worker's soda at the Wisconsin State Fair grounds.
In a probable cause affidavit, obtained by Law&Crime and local Fox affiliate WITI, on Thursday, March 20, Wisconsin State Fair Park Police officers said they were approached by a woman -- described as "JH" in the complaint -- during a foot patrol, and she asked to speak with them privately.
"During the conversation, JH told the Officers that approximately 2 to 3 weeks ago, JH suspected that her beverages on her desk had been contaminated by a chemical substance," the complaint said. "JH was made aware of the contamination, due to the strong chemical smell and taste. JH stated that upon consumption of those beverages, she became ill. Moreover, JH did not consent to anyone placing anything in her drink."
Per the affidavit, JH said she was suspicious that drinks on her desk were being contaminated and set up a hidden camera that morning to see if she could catch the possible suspect -- and she allegedly did.
