A nurse from Tennessee in the United States is now facing several charges for mailing bloody sanitary napkins and dog feces to her husband鈥檚 ex.
Della Marie Gibson Lathum admitted that she took blood from a patient and put it on sanitary pads to send to the ex-wife, as per NBC affiliate WBIR on June 22.
Arrest warrants from early April now reveal that Lathum鈥檚 reason behind the acts is that 鈥渟he wanted 鈥榯he kids鈥 to know the truth about [her husband鈥檚 ex].鈥
She described her husband鈥檚 ex-wife as someone who was 鈥渓azy, didn鈥檛 work and lived off the system,鈥 the report said.
Lathum, on a separate occasion, also mailed dog feces to the ex-wife along with a letter with 鈥渄erogatory comments,鈥 court documents showed as cited by the news outlet.
Lathum, meanwhile, is currently not employed at the Parkwest hospital where she used to work, according to a spokesperson.
She is now facing two federal counts of sending biohazardous material through the mail, as well as five harassment charges, two stalking charges and one vandalism charge in Loudon County, where the said ex lives, the report said.
Late last March, Lathum scratched the side of the ex-wife鈥檚 car while the latter was with her children attending a banquet at a high school. Later that same day, Lathum left on the ex鈥檚 doorstep a rock with the letter 鈥淎鈥 painted on it.
The said letter is 鈥渕ost known to symbolize adultery,鈥 arrest warrants said as cited by the news outlet. The next month, Lathum mailed a card to the ex-wife 鈥渄isguised as an invitation鈥 addressed to the latter鈥檚 daughter. It was said to be also full of derogatory comments about the family.
Lathum has since been released from federal custody, but is not allowed to contact her husband鈥檚 ex-wife and to seek work in the medical field. She is set to appear in court on July 28. Ian Biong聽/ra
