Ex-Attendant Sentenced in Spiking of Tot’s Juice
From Times Wire Reports
A former Northwest Airlines flight attendant who spiked a toddler’s apple juice with the anti-anxiety drug Xanax to stop her crying was sentenced in Detroit to four months of home confinement.
Daniel Cunningham, 39, of Ann Arbor, pleaded guilty in May to federal charges that included assault and distribution of a controlled substance on an aircraft. The attendant was fired by the airline.
Although Xanax can cause drowsiness and lightheadedness, the 19-month-old girl suffered no serious injury.
