Detectives claim Clinkenbeard poisoned the victim in December and January. On the first instance, she reportedly discovered some rat poison in a bus on her property and mixed it with a glass of lemonade. The second time, she allegedly found antifreeze on her property and added it to tea, as per the affidavit. The victim fell ill on both occasions.

Deputies arrived at the Versailles home, situated roughly 70 miles southwest of Columbia, and detained the suspect. During the transport to the jail, Clinkenbeard supposedly began singing about how Jesus was going to save her. She persisted in singing religious hymns at the police station, alternating between crying and singing, the affidavit stated.

Clinkenbeard allegedly admitted to poisoning the family member amid arguments with him. Asked if she knew that the amount of poison used in both instances could kill the victim, Clinkenbeard answered in the affirmative, the affidavit said. The victim at first denied Clinkenbeard had poisoned him, but later admitted that she did do so after she confessed to cops, according to the affidavit.

The defendant faces between 10 and 30 years in prison if convicted. She remains at the Morgan County Jail without bond. Her next court date is slated for April 8.
