2 High School Workers Accused Of Poison Attempt

ALBEMARLE, N.C.,None — Two high school employees have been arrested and accused of trying to poison their fellow employee's tea.

The Stanly County Sheriff's Office said 38-year-old Angela Johnson and 64-year-old Eileen Hallamore were charged Tuesday with distributing food containing poison.

Authorities said their investigation started last month after the Stanly County Board of Education reported a poisoning attempt at South Stanly High School in Norwood.

No students were involved. Deputies have not said how the poisoning was discovered or what may have motivated the women.

The women are due in court April 25.
