Authorities don’t know if she’s was caught before being able to taint any food so if you’re in Florida be careful what you give your child.
TAMARAC, Fla. (WSVN) — A Broward County judge denied bond to a woman spotted by a Publix shopper pouring an unspecified black liquid into jars of baby food inside the grocery store on the evening of Feb. 12.
According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the witness viewed 50-year-old Shirley W. Ybarra using a plastic syringe to transfer the unknown dye from a Victoria’s Secret body splash container to an Earth’s Best banana food jar inside the grocery chain’s 4121 West Commercial Blvd. location.
When store employees confronted her, the suspect told them she had been mixing food for her son during the 15-minute event. While being questioned, Ybarra allegedly urinated on herself, prompting her to require a visit to the bathroom in order to clean herself up. Once in the lavatory, Ybarra allegedly placed a pair of rubber gloves in the trash and flushed Pine Glo disinfectant down the toilet.
The suspect’s shopping cart held baby juice containers, several tampered jars of Earth’s Best banana baby food, latex gloves, a baby syringe and paper towels.
Store officials confiscated all of the grocery products that were in the suspect’s possession and checked its other area supermarkets to determine whether or not Ybarra had visited them.
BSO Detectives sent samples of the ammonia-scented liquid to the Food and Drug Administration’s labs in Cincinnati for testing and identification, which is expected to be completed in two to three weeks.
Ybarra is on probation for stabbing her boyfriend in the legs in 2007 and also has a battery charge on her from 2005. Her only child is 21 so obviously she wasn’t looking to poison her own child. Her family claims she’s bi-polar and she’s been institutionalized by the state while awaiting trail.
