WARREN, Pa. - A woman tried to kill her husband by sneaking rat poison into his food, but was arrested after the man reported finding a strange substance in his lunch, police said.
State police arrested Cheryl M. Raybuck, 46, of Glade Township, Warren County, on Tuesday and charged her with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.
Andrew Raybuck, 43, contacted police after he found an unusual substance in the lunch his wife prepared for him on Jan. 26. Police conducted tests and determined the substance was rat poison and that Andrew Raybuck had ingested the same poison in the days before.
Cheryl Raybuck faces a preliminary hearing March 15 before Warren District Judge Laura Bauer. She was unable to post $100,000 bond, and a judge later ordered her confined in a state hospital, police said.
Raybuck told the judge she is represented by a county public defender. That office didn't immediately return a call for comment on the case.
Police didn't say why they think Cheryl Raybuck tried to kill her husband.
