LOWELL, Fla. – An inmate at a Florida prison is suing the state’s Department of Corrections over allegations that an officer put chlorine bleach in her drink. In a lawsuit filed last week in Marion County, inmate Alfreda Gunn claims that she and corrections officer Qualesha Williams were “in a heated verbal dispute" in January at Lowell Correctional Institution, the Ocala StarBanner reported. According to the lawsuit, a corrections officer watched Williams spray bleach into a cup and onto the food tray being taken to Gunn. Gunn detected the bleach when she took a drink from the cup, the lawsuit said. But Gunn called out to the officer who had reportedly watched Williams spray bleach on the food.
