The Case of Laced Lasagna

CBS2 reports that a husband and wife from Decorah have been arrested and face several charges for allegedly lacing baked lasagna with a dangerous drug. The drug is Oxycodone. The goal of the dangerous dish? To give another woman a misscarriage, according to CBS2.

Husband and Wife Both Face Charges

According to CBS2, the Winneshiek County Sheriff's Office arrested Matthew Uthoff Thursday morning in connection with the case.
