(CBS/AP) COLUMBUS, Ohio - A worker at a Big Boy burger restaurant is charged with trying to poison customers by pouring pig medication into a pot of coffee.

According to The Blade newspaper, Edwin Ledgard, 36, told police that he was having delusions to kill customers.

Ledgard is charged with contaminating a substance for human consumption and is in jail on a $100,000 bond.
