DELAND, Fla. - A Florida Dollar General employee has been arrested for allegedly pouring bleach into his co-worker's drink after an argument.
Jerome Ellis, a DeLand Dollar General employee was arrested on charges of poisoning food or water and tampering with evidence after video surveillance showed Ellis pouring bleach into his co-worker's can of Pepsi on Monday, an arrest affidavit states.
Ellis and the victim reportedly got into an argument the day before, and the victim told police he believed Ellis was holding a grudge against him, deputies said.
The man told deputies he placed a Pepsi he was drinking on a counter before going to the restroom. When he came back and took a drink from the can, it tasted like bleach or cleaning supplies.
When deputies arrived at the store, video surveillance showed Ellis pouring bleach into the Pepsi can while the victim was in the bathroom. He also reportedly wiped the can off, walked away, and came back to spit in the drink, deputies said.

The out turned donkey ears are sometimes a clue to congential brain damage. Looks like he’s missing a few ounces of brain matter. Probably was already on parole for something.
The Dollar Stores can offer a second chance for some of these folks to get used to working for somebody again.
Some do well taking that opportunity.
That’ll teach the co-worker from using ‘Colorful’ language in future arguments.
Well that solves the problem of having disagreements at this workplace.
Ellis will now have to get used to another place to make enemies.
“walked away, and came back to spit in the drink”
Nothing like spit and bleach soda to round out the day.
I do believe Ellis is the difficult one to work with.
“the victim told police he believed Ellis was holding a grudge against him”
That may be the understatement of the week
He was simply trying to provide a safer form of COVID innoculation
Might go something like this:
Andy (Ellis): “I have no enemies here.”
Red: “Wait awhile. The Sisters [Bull Queers] have taken a real liking to you.”
Andy: “I don’t suppose it would help to tell them I’m not a homosexual.”
Red: “Neither are they. You have to be human first, and they don’t qualify. If I were you, I’d start growing eyes in the back of my head.”
Never walk away from a open drink..or food for that matter.
One that would provide a full immunity, unlike the shot.
“The man told deputies he placed a Pepsi he was drinking on a counter before going to the restroom”
Was in the workforce for around 40 years and I never, I repeat never walked off from a drink OR food and left it sitting unattended........bad juju right there.
Gotta go upscale. Family Dollar is where it’s at!
I’m guessing the cat suffers from Kabuki Syndrome
“Abstract
Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare developmental disorder principally comprised of developmental delay, hypotonia and a clearly defined dysmorphism: elongation of the structures surrounding the eyes, a shortened and depressed nose, thinning of the upper lip and thickening of the lower lip, large and prominent ears, hypertrichosis and scoliosis. Other characteristics include poor physical growth, cardiac, gastrointestinal and renal anomalies as well as variable behavioral issues, including autistic features. De novo or inherited pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in the KMT2D gene are the most common cause of KS and account for up to 75% of patients. Variants in KDM6A cause up to 5% of cases (X-linked dominant inheritance), while the etiology of about 20% of cases remains unknown.”

Is it just me, or are we seeing a crapload of “crime in Florida” articles today? Any chance someone is trying to insinuate Florida is like NYC (as in DeSantis is not doing his job). Just asking?
I worked with a guy who used to chew and would use a Coke can for a spittoon an set it down on the lab bench.
Another lab lab tech mistook it for his Coke and grabbed it and took a big swallow of ‘bacca juice.
It did go go down well.
This was before all those eating/drinking in the lab rules.
Hmmm...Sounds reasonable. One is difficult to work with so attempt to kill him? Sheesh - crazy days
