Carolina Woman Accused in Cheese Attack



Tiara Drake
(Battleboro, North Carolina) A local woman, Tiara Drake, has been accused of trying to poison her family with tainted cheese.

Drake faces five counts of attempted first-degree murder.

A statement from the Nash County Sheriff's Office said 24-year-old Tiara Drake wanted some of a relative's cheese on Friday, but the woman refused to share.

The sheriff's office said Drake awakened before the rest of the family the next morning and used detergent, window cleaner and a household cleanser to poison the cheese. The rest of the family made breakfast with the cheese and began eating it before one of them determined it was tainted.

Drake was booked into custody with bond set at $50,000.
