as posted by the channel

A Christian school teacher has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly poisoning her husband while she had an affair – after he set up a hidden camera that captured her adding a toxic plant into his smoothie, officials said.

Sarah Scheffer, 37, an art and design teacher at Calvary Lutheran High School in Jefferson County in Missouri, was first charged last week with first-degree domestic assault after her husband told police he had been ill for about six weeks, police said.

She has since been charged with first-degree attempted murder and armed criminal action, according to a probable cause statement viewed by The Post.

“Authorities were notified by the victim that he believed a period of unexplained illnesses were in fact an intentional act of poisoning,” Jefferson City police said.

The husband described “eight occurrences” in which Scheffer “provided a beverage or food that had an odd taste and shortly after ingesting he experienced extreme fatigue, confusion, blurred vision, severe cotton mouth, and nausea,” the probable cause statement says.
