Roommate from hell -SC College Student Allegedly Caught on Camera Poisoning Roommates' Food

https://gma.yahoo.com/sc-college-student-allegedly-caught-camera-poisoning-roommates-205959707--abc-news-topstories.html
<snip>
A University of South Carolina student is facing felony charges and possible jail time after allegedly being caught on camera spitting and pouring chemicals into her two roommates’ food in early February, police said.

Police say Hayley King, 22, can be seen in the video taken by her roommates Feb. 4 spitting into multiple containers of food and pouring Windex into the food in the apartment they shared off campus, according to a Columbia Police Department incident report.

King’s two roommates informed authorities they had set up secret cameras in their shared apartment because they were afraid of what King might do following a string of multiple altercations, which are not detailed in the police report. The two roommates had tried to get King to move out because of the previous altercations, but she refused, the incident report states.

Police said they viewed the recordings and watched King opening the refrigerator, picking up several containers one by one, and spitting into them. She also poured glass cleaner into one of them, the report stated.

As I recall, a lot of that tasted poisonous, at best.

with a room-mate decades ago.
When I realized that she had serious problems, I told the owner. I told him I wanted to move to a place for myself alone and he actually helped me while I found a young couple to replace me. She had to find her own place after that - and it turned out I was right as she pulled a knife on her new landlord and was lucky not to be sent to prison.
