A student at the University of South Carolina faces felony charges after a video surfaced showing her allegedly poisoning her roommates’ food.

King’s roommates had set up multiple cameras around the apartment they shared with her because they’d recently gotten into several fights with her and were afraid of what she might do.

One of the roommates told authorities that she ate out of one of the containers in question before she viewed the video.

“The aftermath … caused me to fall behind in my classes,” one of King’s roommates said, according to a police report obtained by WIS. “I was forced to switch out of one of my courses because I was so distracted with everything going on. This not only affected me physically, having to deal with the repercussions of the incident, but also mentally from the anxiety that came along with it.”

After police saw the video, they questioned King, who later admitted to the incident. She was charged with unlawful, malicious tampering with a human drug product/food. If convicted, she faces 20 years in prison.
