Man allegedly put weed killer in co-worker's water
ACWORTH, Ga. - A Georgia man has been arrested after police say he put weed killer in his co-worker's water bottle. Multiple news outlets report Anthony Dunton was arrested Saturday and charged with four counts of aggravated assault after police say he put Roundup weed and grass killer in the co-worker's bottle.
Police in Acworth, about 30 miles northwest of Atlanta, say the second man realized his water tasted funny and foamed when shaken. He then set up a camera in his office, police said, and filmed two videos from two different days showing Dunton entering the office, removing the bottle and returning it moments later. The employee alerted management, who in turn alerted police.
Authorities arrested Dunton after an investigation.
The co-worker was not seriously injured, but sought treatment after experiencing kidney pain.
