A Florida woman has been accused of poisoning a man she invited to her house by giving him a drink containing Raid ‘Roach & Ant bug’ spray.
Deputies from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office were called to a house on Wheeler Street in DeLeon Springs around 4:30 a.m. and met the victim who was later taken to the hospital.
A man, who has not been identified, told officers that Veronica Cline, 29, had come home from a drink at a bar and asked him to “stay home drinking with her.”
After two drinks, the man said he was starting to feel sick and then Cline revealed that she had added Raid to both drinks.

The victim told deputies he vomited for about 30 minutes before he could call for help and fell ill again while giving his statement to a deputy.
Cline was not in the house when deputies arrived, but a K-9 unit tracked her down nearby and she was taken into custody.

She was taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail and held without bond pending her first appearance on charges of poisoning food or drink.
Bodycam footage released by Volusia Sheriff’s Office shows a responding officer walking through a wooded area with a dog from the K-9 unit.
As the officer begins to walk past a bush, the dog can be seen next to a woman sitting with her back against a tree.
“Show me your goddamn hands,” the officer yells at the woman identified as Cline. “Okay, okay, okay, okay,” you hear Cline respond as the officer yells for her to show her hands.
“Now walk over to me, walk over to me, stop there and get on your knees,” the officer then instructs Cline who slowly backs up towards him.
Cline can be seen kneeling on the floor as the officer instructs the police dog to “watch her” while another officer can be heard off-camera in the background.

“Don’t move,” says the approaching officer, who then begins to handcuff Cline with her hands behind her back.
“Did he bite you anywhere,” the cop asks Cline who only says on the knee, “It really hurts,” she adds.
The officer can then be heard congratulating the dog, who also appears to have retrieved Cline’s phone.
The man was known to Cline and his condition at this time is unclear.
