An Indiana man accused of trying to cause his pregnant girlfriend to have a miscarriage by mixing a medicinal herb into her drinks allegedly told officers he wasn't "in a position to have children financially or mentally."
Twenty-five-year-old Jarod Rebuck of Elwood was formally charged Wednesday with attempted feticide, and later released on bond.
The Herald Bulletin reports he woman told police she drank two strange-smelling drinks Rebuck mixed for her.
Court documents say Rebuck told officers he placed a medicinal herb that can cause miscarriages in those drinks.
Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings says Rebuck was the woman's boyfriend and allegedly hoped to induce a miscarriage.
Rebuck's attorney did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
