Franklin County Municipal Court records stated that hospital staff informed a Columbus Police Officer who was at the hospital that they had seen Lesueur injecting the substance through surveillance cameras.
Staff said that they saw her go into the bathroom, using a cup to collect what appeared to be human fecal matter.
The staff then said that they saw Lesueur inject the substance into the syringe and then take the syringe and inject it into the IV line on the child’s left hand.
The officer then detained Lesueur, and the child was immediately treated.
As part of her sentence, Lesueur must comply with the Department of Children’s Services’ orders, which include staying away from all victims.
