An Arizona lady is accused of trying to kill her husband by contaminating his coffee. According to court records, Melody Feliciano Johnson’s Air Force husband was suspicious of his wife and would not consume the coffee she had been making for him.
The couple, who share a child, were going through a divorce while residing in Germany. The spouse, whose name was omitted from the police report, observed that the morning coffee his wife had made for him started tasting sour. He admitted to police that no one else uses the coffee maker.
He informed investigators that he started testing his tap water and the water in his swimming pool after purchasing pool chlorine testing strips, he found out the coffee had high levels of chlorine.
While they were in Germany, he stopped drinking the coffee but didn’t immediately tell his wife. Instead, he made the decision to install cameras in their new home on Davis Mountain Air Force Base when they relocated to Arizona on June 28.
According to court records, he recorded Johnson pouring something into the water reservoir on tape. He reported the incident to the Tuscon Police Department, but no action was taken. As a result, he purchased more cameras and installed one in the laundry room, where the bleach was kept.
A video purportedly captured his wife going from the laundry area to the coffee maker. Her allegedly pouring bleach into a smaller bottle and carrying it over to the coffee machine was captured on another video.
After the husband gathered numerous videos for his police report, Johnson was held at home by police. When police searched the house with a warrant, they discovered a bleach-smelling liquid in the coffee machine. They also discovered a container that had a strong bleach scent.
Johnson is accused of attempting to commit first-degree murder, aggravated assault, and tampering with food, drink, or medication.
According to the documents, a large bail was asked for Johnson last month because she may be a flight risk and has a home and family in the Philippines.
