Wisconsin Man Caught on Camera Spiking Co-Worker’s Drink With Gorilla Glue

A 34-year-old man in Wisconsin was arrested after a female coworker caught him, on camera, spiking her Coca-Cola at work.

Secret Camera Exposes Workplace Tampering

A Milwaukee man has been arrested after contaminating his co-worker’s drink, an act that was caught on a hidden camera set up by the victim. Joseph Ross, 34, is facing charges after reportedly adding a foreign substance to a woman's Coca-Cola at their workplace, located on the grounds of Wisconsin State Fair Park.

According to a criminal complaint, the victim—identified as 'JH'—began suspecting foul play after noticing a strong chemical odor and taste in her soda, which subsequently made her ill. To catch the perpetrator in action, she discreetly installed a surveillance camera beneath her computer monitor. Her fears were confirmed when she reviewed the footage and saw Ross pouring super glue into her beverage.

Captured on Camera: A Shocking Discovery

After making the disturbing discovery, JH immediately sought out nearby police officers, reported the incident, and handed over the incriminating video footage. Upon questioning, Ross admitted to “adding a supplement” to his co-worker’s drink. Authorities also noted that during the act, he wore clear latex gloves, which he later discarded.

A search warrant was executed at Ross’s office, where police recovered the gloves and a Gorilla-branded super glue container, both crumpled into a ball. Upon unraveling the gloves, officers found additional evidence, including a blue plastic cap and another glue container.

Legal Ramifications and Workplace Response

Ross was charged with placing foreign objects into a beverage and was arrested last Tuesday. His bail has been set at $10,000, and if convicted, he could face up to 38 months in prison.

Commissioner Andrea Bolender expressed concern over the severity of the allegations, stating, “This is extremely alarming and definitely has elements of a lot of violence.”
Wisconsin State Fair Park issued a statement clarifying that both individuals involved were employed by a vendor, not by the park itself. While the park did not comment on the employment status of the accused, they confirmed that Ross has been issued a ‘No Trespass Order.’

“While this incident did not involve State Fair Park employees or patrons, we want to reiterate that safety is a top priority, and we take these matters very seriously,” the statement read.

The motive behind Ross’s alleged actions remains unclear as the investigation continues.
