WEAVER, Ala. (AP) - A man who allegedly left hydrochloric acid
in a soda bottle that his 11-year-old cousin drank, leaving her in
critical condition, is being held at the Calhoun County Jail.
Detective Charles Plitt said 42-year-old Thurman Wayne Tubbs of
Weaver was held Friday after he surrendered at the police station
Thursday evening. It was not clear if he had a lawyer.
Police had been searching for Tubbs since he fled from his
camper trailer before they arrived Wednesday for a search of the
camper that turned up meth labs. Authorities said the acid in the
bottle was used in the making of methamphetamine.
Tubbs is charged with assault, chemical endangerment of a child
and manufacturing meth. Police said the girl, Kristen Michelle
Kelley, accidentally drank the acid from a Sprite bottle on Feb. 13
while playing outside her home.

This guy is evidently not only a danger to his own family,but a danger to society.I’m sure that his drugs would eventually end up in the hands of others and ruining some one else’s life.I don’t know what the maximum penalty is for the crimes he has committed,but I hope they don’t go easy on him.If I was the Judge he’d be getting “Breakfast in Bed"by lethal injection,only with harsh sentencing will society become safe again.I pray for the little girl and hope she will be o.k.

dougstech, you comment was crude and hurtful. it provided no possibility why she drank the acid.  she has a full face. she is a little doll.  i posted the comment earlier to see if anyone heard about her condition. then you come on. i stayed out until you posted your comment about her appearance. their is nothing about her looks to show she has a trend of overeating. the only news i was interested in was her condition.

rosepetal, my comment provides a possibility of the reason why she drank the acid. she looks like she eats/drinks alot. if she has a trend of overeating then that would not be uncommon for her to drink the acid.

are you really here because you are interested in news? or are you here to call out other commenters?

dougstech says….........It looks like she would eat/drink anything she sees near her by her picture.

words mean things. your words were out of line and you should be ashamed.

rosepetal, you need to comment on CONTENT not on another commenter.

I really don’t care what the person looks like or what situation he/she is. Anyone who drinks acid, especially when it is this type of OBVIOUS acid is dumb.

You are the one who immediately assumes that everyone accused of a crime is guilty by all the comments that you post. Now THAT is just wrong.

And no, I am not ashamed. That family and the person that says she is related to her should be the ashamed ones.

dougstech, now that comment is just wrong. takes a really heartless person to say what you posted.
she looks like a healthy little girl just because she does not look like she is anorexic does not mean she is overweight. you should be ashamed. she is a little doll.

It looks like she would eat/drink anything she sees near her by her picture.

Perhaps if she was not mentally sound, then it would not be her fault. But, drinking a foul smelling, fuming substance from a bottle is just foolish.

doug, at least you understand how bad this is, but why call the child stupid? where is your love and compassion? of course you may have not done anything considered dumb, or maybe even stupid growing up? man o man, i have.

Wall-E, sure. Someone who drinks acid will probably be in bad shape for a long time.

..hey dougstech, dude, please show some compassion, or has your heart waxed cold? C’mon man, this is a child who is in mighty bad shape.
