A Monroe woman is accused of poisoning her husband last year, temporarily sending him into a coma. 50 year old Amanda Chapin is charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide. According to a complaint filed last week in the Lafayette County, Chapin’s 70-year-old husband was taken to the hospital on August 21 after he had difficulty breathing. He fell into a coma, and bloodwork showed he had barbiturates in his system. The man’s son filed a temporary restraining order against Chapin on Aug. 23, requesting medical power of attorney over his father and alleging that Amanda Chapin poisoned his father with barbiturates. By the end of August, the man had awakened from his coma and was able to speak with detectives. According to the complaint, he alleged that Chapin poisoned him three times.
