Woman arrested in Key West for using eye drops as poison
(01.20.06) †KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) -- A Homestead woman is accused of using eye drops to try to poison a co-worker in Key West. Police say Morning Star Vaber put Visine drops in her coworker's tea, but a witness poured out the tea before the co-worker could drink it. Police haven't released the coworker's name. Vaber was fired after she admitted to her employer about the Visine attempt. She is now charged with poisoning food or water with intent to kill or injure. The pharmaceutical company Pfizer says ingesting Visine can cause cardiac problems, a decreased level of consciousness, low blood pressure and severe diarrhea.
