Melvin Moore used poisoned sweet tea to try to kill his fiancée because of an argument over him refusing to do chores. Authorities said that she survived and will be okay but Melvin Lee Moore remains behind bars in Marshall County on an attempted murder charge. Only four months after getting engaged, Moore put the poison in her Arizona Ice Tea before giving it to her to drink. She immediately realized something was wrong after tasting the poison which often tastes sweet and can cause seizures and sickness.
Authorities say she’s lucky she received help so quickly. Her daughter said that she told her, “I need you to go get your phone and don’t make it seem like something’s going on. Do not go back inside the house…She drunk some and her tongue started going numb and her heart started going fast and that’s when she looked in the can. Nobody ever thought he would do something like that.” She goes on to say, “I just want to know why, that’s it. Just tell me why..She never hurt you. She was there for you more than your family.” She also said that he was an important and loved part of the family. Moore is being held on a $1 million bond at the Marshall County Jail.
Crazy!
