A New Jersey woman is facing criminal charges after being accused of spiking someone’s drink during a scheduled meeting at a restaurant.
On October 15, specialized detectives took a fifty-two-year-old woman into custody outside a home in Hackensack. One day before the arrest, the county authorities officially filed a criminal charge against her. The suspect is facing one count of third-degree aggravated assault. She was taken to the Bergen County Jail, where she was held without bond.
The assault charge involves an incident that took place at an eatery located in Fort Lee. According to reports, on September 8, the suspect met with an acquaintance at the dining establishment. The meeting was arranged because the alleged victim discovered unauthorized banking activity inside her personal financial accounts. Investigators said the suspect had shared access to the accounts.
