A Pennsylvania woman has been sentenced to up to four years in prison for poisoning her boyfriend with eye drops.
Vickie Jo Mills, 33, pleaded guilty to a count of aggravated assault on Tuesday after admitting she'd put eyedrops into Thurman Nesbitt's drinking water 10 to 12 times since June 2009.
Nesbitt was being treated by his doctor for years, with symptoms of vomiting, blood pressure problems, nausea and breathing problems.
Mills, who has a child with Nesbitt, said she poisoned him in a desperate bid for his attention.
Dr. Johnston contacted authorities June 17, 2012, after tetrahydrozoline, a chemical found in eye drops, turned up in blood tests.
