WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- A 15-year-old girl was charged with trying to kill her mother's boyfriend by poisoning his drink with a chemical she stole from school, authorities said.
Danielle Sanders was charged with tampering and attempted first degree murder Wednesday, both felonies. She was arrested and taken to the Polk Juvenile Detention Center in Bartow.
A police report said Sanders' mother's boyfriend, Ronald Wayne Norris, purchased a drink at a McDonald's on Feb. 22. Norris then left the beverage in the car with Sanders as he entered a Home Depot in Winter Haven, the report stated.
When he returned to his vehicle, he immediately detected a different taste in his drink. Norris became violently ill shortly afterward and sought medical attention, the report stated.
Sanders told investigators that she intentionally tried to kill Norris by placing copper sulfate in his drink, the report stated. Sanders had stolen 20 grams of copper sulfate from Lake Gibson High School where she is a ninth-grade student, the report stated.
