The Steuben County Sheriff’s Office says a 25-year-old woman was arrested Wednes­day after she allegedly tried to poi­son her hus­band by switch­ing his med­ica­tion… with rat poi­son.

Renee Mans­field of Ash­ley now faces felony charges of aggra­vated bat­tery and pos­ses­sion of a con­trolled sub­stance.
