Sheriff says she crushed drugs into his sandwich
The man deputies say was poisoned by his own wife says he still loves her, but says she's never welcomed back to their Lake Wales home.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office says on Thursday, Beth Richards secretly slid crushed up anti-depressants into a tuna fish sandwich that she made for her husband, Greg.
"I think she went over the edge maybe," he said outside of his home on Friday. "I don't know."
Authorities are calling it attempted murder.
"It shocks us that this is cold, calculated, and premeditated," said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. "He started eating his tuna fish sandwich and noticed it kind of had a aspirin after taste so he only ate about half of it.
"His wife texted him throughout the day and asked him, 'hey, have you ate your tuna fish sandwich?'" He said.

Makes me think of poor Phil Hartman. His wife shot and killed him. From what I have read and heard she was mentally unstable... a true case of insanity. She shot and killed herself right after. I feel very sad for the poor kids they left behind :-(
I don't think this was one of those cases where an insanity plea is tried in an attempt to get a guilty as sin perp off scot free....after all, she was unbalanced enough to shoot herself after the deed. I feel sorry for both of them..taken by illness IMO.
I doubt she’ll get more than probation.
I dunno...
if you blur your vision a bit and cover her massive forhead with your thumb....
yes... you are correct...
If she was hot, you’d be okay with her poisoning you?
see?
did you not see the pic?
how hot are we talking here?
You tell me.
Maybe just a little.
MEMO TO SELF: After a job, don’t brag!
Katy Perry hot, at least.
the judge can factor in specifics to a case to adjust the division of property.
just because you shoot yourself after you murder a person, doesn’t mean you are insane. you are falling into that stereotype that a woman must be insane to do this kind of act because they aren’t capable of doing it as a calculated, deliberate act. like we assume all men do it for this reason.
Desyryl.....trazadone
Is infamous for unsolicited erections
Maybe she wasn’t trying to kill him afterall
The sheriff's office learned that Greg does have a life insurance policy worth 250-thousand dollars, or more if he's injured on the job. But the motive is still unclear.
DUH!
That picture explains the anti depressants. Looks like she wasn’t taking enough or thbe right kind judging from that sad sack look about her.
He really should take her back....She makes these rockin’ oatmeal cookies!
This brings up one of my favorite peeves. Why is it called “tuna fish”? Isn’t “tuna” a sufficient description which identifies a type of fish? After all, we don’t refer to “bass fish” or “shark fish” or the rest. (Yes, I know that there is a “sword fish” but they are never referred to as “swords.”)
It’s not *that* big of a deal! Early in our marriage (when I was learning how to cook) I accidentally poisoned my husband dozens of times. 8-\
There was the raw chicken episode (that was not so much my fault - the oven was malfunctioning), the ‘dangerously salty soup’, all the times he ate scraps I’d set aside for the dog...
But he forgave me every time! lol!
