Kentucky man swaps partner’s medication to induce miscarriage: Police
A 26-year-old Kentucky man has been arrested after authorities say he swapped his girlfriend's prescription medication for a drug believed to cause miscarriage.
What Happened
Kentucky State Police say they responded on May 25 to a call from a woman in Glasgow, Kentucky, who told troopers her boyfriend, Abdullah Mohmand, had replaced her prescribed medicine with an unknown drug. The woman said she was pregnant and feared for the safety of her unborn child.
Search And Evidence
Officers obtained a search warrant for Mohmand's residence. Police reported finding pills that matched the unknown medication at the woman's home. NewsNation affiliate WDKY identified the drug as misoprostol, a medication that can induce miscarriage.
Suspect's Response And Allegations
When shown a bottle of the medication, Mohmand reportedly requested an attorney and declined to answer further questions. Court documents cited by WDKY say the woman told investigators Mohmand's family lives in Afghanistan and that he allegedly told her they could not have a baby because his family would kill him.
Charges And Next Steps
Mohmand has been charged with attempted fetal homicide and is being held at the Barren County Detention Center. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing. As with any arrest, the allegations have not been proven in court.
