A Michigan man was handed a 60-day prison sentence after he was caught on camera repeatedly poisoning his ex-wife's morning cup of joe during a bitter divorce.
Brian Kozlowski, 46, was given what prosecutors felt was a “light” punishment after he pleaded no contest in June to spiking his soon-to-be ex-wife's coffee at the time with diphenhydramine, the primary ingredient in most antihistamines, FOX2 reported.
Therese Kozlowski reportedly told officials that in July 2018, she felt tired, nauseous and was experiencing blurred vision after drinking coffee that her husband had made for her. After repeatedly falling ill, she set up cameras in her kitchen.
