SALINE, MI - A 47-year-old Adrian woman lost her job after police determined she put laxatives in a departing co-worker's going-away brownies.
Police were called on May 3 to MMI Engineered Solutions, 1715 Woodland Drive in Saline, after the company received a tip from an employee that the woman planned to put laxatives in brownies she was bringing to a send-off for another worker, said Saline Police Chief Jerrod Hart.
The company intervened, confiscated the suspect brownies and called police before the brownies could be eaten, Hart said.
When interviewed by police, the 47-year-old initially denied putting laxatives in the brownies, Hart said. But when informed the brownies would be forensically-tested for tampering, she admitted to baking in a cube of laxatives, police said.
But police learned from other employees, though the suspect denied it, that there may have been some previous tension between the departing employee and the 47-year-old woman, Hart said. The nature of the spat was not immediately known.
Though police say the woman admitted to tampering with the brownies, Hart said no charges will be pursued.
No one ate the brownies and the company fired her, he said. The matter would be different had someone consumed the food.

They could have made her eat the brownies.
“....and the company fired her...”
Dear Employee:
We’ve had enough sh@t out of you. You’re fired.
Sincerely,
The Management
That’s a salty attitude!....................
Hehe.
no important crime going on I guess...
Assault.
What ever happened to $h!t, shovel & STHU???
If no one ate them, how do they know there’s laxatives in them there brownies?.........;)
Ah yes, the old “Chocolate-covered Ex Lax” brownies routine.
Barney Miller was ahead of its time, an exceptional cast that happened to be diverse.
Yes, why not? Its called “attempted”, plus she lied to law enforcement officers.
I don’t care about the “lying to police”, but she drugged another person’s food without their knowledge. I’m thinking jail time for that.
When I was in college, a roommate like to help himself to treats my girlfriend would make for me. One night she made brownies, and we frosted some with Vegemite (an Australian spread made from yeast extract - OK on toast very lightly spread but while looking like chocolate it does not taste anything like it). I left them on my desk and when I came back he let me know his displeasure after he had started chewing about 1/2 of a frosted brownie in one bite.
We did remain friends and were roommates for the next 2-1/2 years.
At least it wasn’t Terrible Awful Chocolate Pie.
