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.

If Obama had a son, he would definitely have those ears.

It’s an unintended consequence of Florida’s “sunshine law” that makes all of these stories public records easily accessed by the media. So on a slow news day, they can always find some crazy court record from Florida to trot out, while other states may have a similar amount of crazy stories, but they aren’t as easy to get access to.

Another low point for Florida Man.

But it explains how anyone in their right mind could vote Dem in Florida. Answer: They aren’t all in their right minds. Like these guys.

You have a better understanding of it than I do, but yes. Something of that nature.
