 A Brainerd man is accused of trying to poison an infant with antifreeze. 23-year-old Jeffrey Thomas is charged with attempted murder and first-degree assault. A criminal complaint alleges Thomas tried to poison the four-month-old girl after his wife became upset that he may have fathered the girl with another woman. A paternity test has not been completed, but Thomas says he's not the father. The complaint says Thomas and his wife took the infant to the hospital after she became sick January 18th. Authorities say hospital tests showed the baby had ingested the chemical commonly found in antifreeze. Thomas is in the Crow and County Jail on $750,000 bond. The star tribune says the baby was placed with Thomas shortly after she was born following a child protection proceeding in Carlton County.
