LEBANON, Mo. (KY3/Gray News) - Deputies in Laclede County, Missouri, arrested a woman accused of spiking her husband’s Mountain Dew with Roundup.
Michelle Y. Peters, 47, faces charges of first-degree domestic assault and armed criminal action.
Investigators say Peters added the Roundup product to her husband’s Mountain Dew on several occasions in May and June. She also allegedly spiked his drink with an insecticide.
The man began to suspect something was wrong with his drink after he started feeling ill, according to investigators.
The victim provided surveillance video to law enforcement that indicated Peters was tampering with the Mountain Dew in the garage refrigerator. He told authorities he was the only one in the home who drank the Mountain Dew that was kept in that refrigerator.
Peters allegedly told investigators that she spiked her husband’s drink because he didn’t show appreciation for the 50th birthday she planned for him.
A judge ordered no bond for Peters.
