BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — A woman in southeast Nebraska has been accused of putting carpet cleaner into her boyfriend’s mother’s drink in an attempt to poison her.

Court documents say 25-year-old Amanda J. Nelson, of Beatrice, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of assault after local authorities responded to a verbal disturbance at a residence. A woman there claimed her tongue went numb after drinking tea she had in the refrigerator. She threw up the drink.

Authorities say Nelson was angry with the woman. They say Nelson told officers she put carpet cleaner into the drink to poison the woman.

Nelson appeared in Gage County court Thursday. Records do not list an attorney.
