A North Carolina school therapist allegedly spiked her husband’s energy drink after researching ways to poison someone on ChatGPT, according to authorities.
Cheryl Harris Gates, 43, was arrested on Friday after spiking her husband’s Celsius energy drink with “prescription medications with the intention of causing a blackout condition or incapacitation,” according to an arrest warrant obtained by The Post.
Gates allegedly used ChatGPT between July 8 and Sept. 29 to research “lethal” and “incapacitating” drug combinations that could be injected or consumed, according to an arrest affidavit.
Investigators found evidence she researched, purchased materials, and attempted to carry out a plan after sifting through online records, court documents alleged.
Syringes, a capsule filling kit, medical droppers, scales, medications, and other evidence were discovered within her workspace at her residence, authorities added.
The victim, her husband, reported experiencing two different instances of incapacitation and a foreign, controlled substance in his beverage on July 12 and Aug. 18, the document said.
The two were not living together at the time, according to the affidavit.
The redheaded woman is employed as an occupational therapist at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, according to WBTV.
A webpage on her role at the school has since been removed. The school district did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
She is currently facing charges of attempted murder in the first degree and contaminating food or drink with the intent to cause harm, documents show.
Gates faces additional charges for an arrest last Tuesday of stalking and damage to property.
She allegedly placed a tracking device on her husband’s vehicle and caused damage to the window of his property, arrest warrants stated.
“She never should have been around kids at all,” parent Laurie Leebrick told WSOC-TV.
“They should have done better background checks.”
