The woman was arrested by police on Sunday following a complaint by her still legal spouse, with whom she has a child. The woman’s 70-year-old father and 66-year-old mother were also arrested.
Police reportedly found 10 milliliters of atropine, a surgical mask, gloves and a syringe in the woman’s car. The woman, who works as a medical representative, had allegedly obtained a duplicate key to the home of the man, which whom she does not live, and used it to gain access to his food. Her alleged actions were reportedly recorded by a closed-circuit security camera.
The alleged victim has undergone toxicological tests, with the results still pending. The woman faces a charge of attempted dangerous bodily harm, while her parents are accused of complicity in the alleged offense.

Atropine is a medication used in several medical settings, including to treat certain heart-rate disturbances and as an antidote to some types of poisoning. Excessive exposure can cause a rapid heartbeat, dilated pupils, agitation and confusion, while severe poisoning can be fatal.
