Sarai Rodriguez-Miranda, a 19-year-old woman from Fort Wayne, Indiana, was charged on Monday for allegedly trying to kill her infant niece by tainting her milk bottle with pain relief medication.
According to court documents cited in a report from the New York Times, the baby was unharmed by Rodriguez-Miranda’s alleged attempt to poison her, but the breast milk bottle contained the equivalent of nine tablets or capsules of the pain relief medication Excedrin, an amount deadly enough to kill an adult. A separate report from USA Today noted that the baby was not given the bottle with the tainted milk, which contained a potent cocktail of acetaminophen, caffeine, and aspirin.
