Teen charged with poisoning grandfather

The Associated Press

LIBERTY — A grand jury has indicted a young Casey County woman, accusing her with lacing her grandfather’s coffee with automotive antifreeze.

Nineteen-year-old Brittany Ann Miller faces a charge of criminal attempt to commit murder.

WLEX-TV in Lexington reported Leonard Walls went to the Veterans Administration Hospital in Lexington, where he told a security officer he suspected his granddaughter was trying to kill him so she could inherit his money.

Authorities searched Walls’ home and found a jug of antifreeze that was half-empty along with two bags of rat poison.

The station quoted Walls saying he noticed his coffee had a sweeter taste to it when Miller brewed it.

The grand jury in Liberty returned the indictment on Friday.

    The gentleman would have not probably had a heart attack if it wasn’t for the breaking and entering.

    This girl is being falsely accused. My uncle ( the grandfather) first accused a neighbor then his granddaughter. My mother thinks he drank it himself and won’t admit it because he’s afraid he would lose his pension.He’s an alcoholic who says he quit drinking a few years ago.He’s always lied about everything.
