'I got some family issues...I just want to be free': North Carolina woman charged with attempted murder after 'poisoning' family with tainted cheese
A North Carolina woman was arrested last week after police say she attempted to poison five of her family members when one of them refused to share some cheese with her.
According to a statement from the Nash County Sheriff's Office, 24-year-old Tiara Drake wanted some of a relative's cheese on Friday, but the woman refused to share.
The sheriff's office said Drake awakened before the rest of the family the next morning and used a cocktail of detergent, window cleaner and a household cleanser to poison the cheese. The rest of the family made breakfast with the cheese and began eating it before one of them determined it was tainted.
