Police in O'Fallon, Missouri, arrested Michael Travis Bullock, 21, on charges of felony assault for allegedly putting ant killer in his pregnant girlfriend's drinks in an attempt to abort their baby, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Bullock is accused of adding Spectracide Ant Shield in glasses of his girlfriend's Kool-Aid from September to the beginning of November, according to the Post-Dispatch. A friend of the couple alerted police to what Bullock was doing. He allegedly told several friends that he didn't want the baby.
Bullock could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
