SAN JOSE, Calif. —

A California woman faces attempted murder charges after police say she tried to sneak orange juice bottles spiked with a lethal amount of rubbing alcohol inside a Starbucks.

San Jose Police arrested Ramineh Behbehanian, 50, late Monday. A customer reported seeing the woman take two bottles of orange juice from her bag and place them in an open-air refrigerated display case at a Starbucks in San Jose around 3:45 p.m., Sgt. Jason Dwyer said Tuesday.

When the customer told a store manager what he saw, Behbehanian fled. A store employee followed Behbehanian to the parking lot and jotted down her license plate number as she drove off. Other employees called 911 after noticing the bottles had a toxic smell, Dwyer said.

Firefighters on the scene tested the contents and determined that the bottles contained a "lethal quantity" of isopropyl rubbing alcohol mixed with the juice, Dwyer said.

The internets suggests that the lethal doze of rubbing alcohol is around 8oz, I don't know the exact size of those bottles in Starbucks, but 8oz is more than half of it, easily.
You would be able to tell by the color if that was the case.

Kids. because Moms and Dads are always telling them to finish their drink. I'm not even blaming parents. To their knowledge, it is just orange juice.

I saw this story earlier today and just had a feeling it was in my state. Crazy people out there.
 
Instead of harming people with an unlikely harmful does of rubbing alcohol, isn't it more likely that she was going to try buy them herself and then sue someone?

I do this now and my son can't even talk yet. If he uses his sippy cup and looks confused and hands it to me I will try it. Either the straw broke, it tastes gross to him, or he thinks it is funny when I say "There is nothing wrong with it". I guess some kids lie their way out of eating/drinking things they don't like often enough that you don't bother checking anymore. OJ would be a weird thing to lie about though.

Eh. If my parents said it didn't taste funny it was pretty much them telling me to eat it.

And I learned that when I said something tasted funny that it doesn't mean I dislike the taste, but that it tastes different than the past times I had it.

Your son is slowly poisoning you.
 
Good job on the employees' part for catching all that, and for getting the license plate number.
 
I can't imagine anyone would have drank it. Isopropyl alcohol has a very strong odor. Everyone in the room would notice as soon as you opened it.
 
motive? and fucking take it to her, this isn't craziness.

lots of people aren't in positions to smell, or have bad sense of smell. I don't think anyone would have drank the whole thing, but still. Someone could have gotten very sick. Might have killed a kid.
 
Odds of this causing serious injury were low, but still, she is a monster. My kids always run in and grab something from that case when I take them to Starbucks. Now I have to check the fucking bottle because of this.

At least we can all be happy the customers and staff were attentive.
