A Jacksonville woman allegedly poisoned her boyfriend’s drink because he wouldn’t stop talking.
Alvis Parrish, 54, is facing charges of poisoning food or water with intent to kill or injure.
According to an arrest report from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a home on Dec. 7 in reference to a poisoning.
When law enforcement got there, Parrish was sitting on her front porch yelling at them, reported local NBC/ABC affiliate First Coast News.
As deputies got closer to her, Parrish reportedly said, “Yeah, I did it… because he wouldn’t shut the f*** up.”
As she was being handcuffed, Parrish went on to say, “I gave him just enough to shut him up and call y’all, so he wouldn’t die… do whatever you want but if you don’t take me I will kill him.”
The man appeared extremely lethargic and told deputies he didn’t know why he was so tired, reported First Coast News.
Parrish allegedly spiked her boyfriend’s lemonade with Seroquel, which can reportedly make you feel sleepy.
“Not sure why she would give me that, I don’t take Seroquel,” the victim said.
Many doctors use the drug as a sleeping pill. It can also be used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, reported First Coast News.
The man said he didn’t notice if his lemonade tasted weird. He was later taken to the hospital.
A bottle of lemonade with a powdery substance at the bottom was found by deputies inside the home.
Parrish was arrested with a more than $50,000 bond.
Whoa, bud. That’s 54 years of rid hard and put up wet. Looks a little like Hillary on a good day.
I don’t have much faith or belief in so-called SSRI medications. I’m not anti-psychiatry - there IS such a thing as mental health and we should all strive to embrace it! - but a lot of the medications currently employed are for MANAGEMENT OF PATIENT BEHAVIOR and not truly to reduce symptoms or solve a problem for the patient.
Since you’re being so honest, I will say that, once at the urging of a relative I saw a psychiatric professional. He gave me the standard psychiatric intake evaluation, to which I gave completely honest and unguarded replies - even though I have pretty much memorized the thing, having worked in mental health for over a decade and know about the booby traps.
This nice individual decided that 300 mg a day of Seroquel would fix me right up. I had a business at the time and, having just experienced several long-time friends walk out on me, I was hella, hella busy.
After the dreams, I got hold of a few extra packs of 300 mg Seroquel for recreational use, but I stopped seeing that psych guy and went back to dosing myself with street drugs. I could not eat, think, talk, or use the bathroom on that stuff. I gained like 15 pounds INSTANTLY. My feet swelled up so that I couldn’t even get a pair of shoes on.
And you were a “zombie” after only 1 mg?! HAHAHAHAAAA! WHAT A LIGHTWEIGHT!
Don’t ask me why I was so sensitive to it. If he put you on 300mg, maybe I was taking 10. My memory’s not perfect, but I know it was a low dose.
It basically made me sleepy, and the will to do anything went right out the window, of course. So I would sleep it off, and then feel fine until the next dose.
Maybe that fool prescribed you 300mg, because he wanted you to sleep all day. :-)
Of course, if you were taking street drugs, you might have built up a tolerance as well beforehand.
She looks like she has a serious medical condition, with the left side of her face drooping like that.

He definitely didn’t want me driving or riding my motorcycle. Or being able to work. Or keep up with the bills and housework.
I didn’t know you were a FReeper. Call me we’ll TALK about it. ;^}
