Woman Films Co-Worker’s Horrifying Act After Noticing Odd Smells From Her Drinks
A woman caught her co-worker’s horrifying act on camera after noticing a strange smell from her drinks.
Identified in a criminal complaint as JH, the woman became suspicious when she noticed a ‘strong chemical smell and taste’ in her sodas.
After consuming the tainted beverage, she fell ill, leading her to suspect foul play.
Suspicious of tampering, she set up a hidden camera at her desk – only to capture shocking footage of her coworker.
According to a complaint obtained by Fox 6, JH had encountered the same off-putting odor and taste in her drinks for two to three weeks before deciding to investigate.
To confirm her suspicions, JH placed a small surveillance camera beneath her computer monitor, hoping to catch any unauthorized access to her drinks.
Upon reviewing the footage, she was horrified to discover that her concerns were justified.
The video evidence allegedly shows Joseph Ross, from Milwaukee, ‘in possession of a small bottle/tube-type dispenser, with a white nozzle. The dispenser appears to be brown/orange in color,’ according to the affidavit.
JH approached officers conducting a routine patrol at the fairgrounds and informed them of what she had uncovered on March 20, 2025.
Authorities then launched an investigation, searching Ross’ workspace, where they reportedly discovered latex gloves and a bottle of Gorilla brand super glue.
Following the discovery, Ross was taken into custody and officially charged.
The 34-year-old has been charged with inserting foreign substances into consumables after a hidden camera reportedly recorded him squeezing Gorilla superglue into the woman’s Coke cans while on the job at Wisconsin State Fair Park.
His bail was set at $10,000. If convicted, he faces a felony charge with potential penalties including a $10,000 fine and up to 38 months in prison, as reported by TMJ4.
The motive behind Ross’ alleged actions remains unclear.
During his virtual court hearing, Commissioner Andrea Bolender commented on the severity of the case, stating: “This is extremely alarming and definitely has elements of a lot of violence.”
Legal analyst Craig Mastantuono described the situation as ‘unusual’ and noted that charges for placing foreign objects in edibles are rare, as authorities seldom catch someone in the act.
Ross, who appeared in court for the first time on Wednesday, has been issued a ‘No Trespass Order’ by the Wisconsin State Fair Park police.
A statement from the Wisconsin State Fair Park clarified that both individuals involved were employed by a vendor rather than the park itself.
It reads (per MailOnline): “Since this incident occurred while at State Fair Park, our police department responded, conducted a thorough investigation, and submitted the report to the District Attorney.”
