LOWELL, Fla. – A Florida inmate 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, inmate Alfreda Gunn claims she and Corrections Officer Qualesha Williams were in a verbal dispute at Lowell Correctional Institution in January.

The corrections officer later brought her a tray of food.
The lawsuit says Gunn detected the bleach and let officials know what happened.
Williams was eventually arrested and charged with a felony. She was fired from her job.
Corrections officials say all allegations of abuse or mistreatment are taken seriously and that this was handled properly.
