Syracuse, NY — Aaron Hickman, 20, is facing charges of assault and child endangerment, after reportedly admitting to pouring bleach in his nephews’ milk after an argument with the boys’ parents.
Hickman, an apparent mooch, told police he and his brother had argued about Hickman’s lack of financial contributions to the household in the month and a half he had been staying there.
In his statement to police, Hickman claimed his brother and the mother of the two boys called him names and accused him of being “slow and stupid.”
Hickman apparently decided he had had enough of their bad-mouthin’ and decided to move out. Before he did, though, he went and proved ‘em right….
“There was a bleach bottle in the kitchen,” Hickman told police. “I took the bleach and I poured it into a milk container that was in the refrigerator.”
In addition to fouling the milk, Hickman also admitted to pouring bleach into a bottle of mouthwash in the couple’s bathroom.
After drinking the spiked milk on Thursday, the boys, ages 1 and 3, became violently ill with severe vomiting and diarrhea. Both were treated at the emergency room and released.
Hickman told police he felt bad about what he did and returned to his brother’s home to apologize that same day.
“My brother walked me down this path that is on Seymour Street. He and his buddies started punching on me and stomping my head,” Hickman told police. ”I got away and ran back to the house and the police were there.”
“This was a foolish thing and I am mad at myself,” Hickman added. “I wish I could take it back.”
Hickman has since been ordered held at the Justice Center on $15,000 bail or $25,000 bond.
