Pekin woman arrested for rat poison attempt

PEKIN, Ill. – A Pekin woman remains behind bars after allegedly trying to poison a friend with rat poison.

Amanda Pollard, 28, is charged with tampering with food, a class 2 felony, and criminal trespass, a misdemeanor.

Police said Pollard was living with the victim until December 1, when he called police to have her evicted. She took her possessions and left the home.

The friend went to the house and found Pollard inside. He told police he saw her put rat poison in both a coffee container and cereal container. He said she also cut a cord on his electric blanket and urinate in a mouthwash bottle.
