A Houston attorney was indicted for putting abortion medicine into his wife's drink.

Mason Herring was indicted by a Harris County grand jury on two counts of assault of a pregnant woman. He was indicted this week after he was released on a $30,000 bond in May.

An attorney for Herring didn't reply to Insider on Saturday.

According to the AP, Herring's wife told police that he ranted about hydration and offered her water. The wife of Herring told police that she became ill after drinking from a cloudy cup.

According to court documents, Herring told his wife that the cloudiness of the water was due to dirty water pipes. According to court documents, Herring's wife became suspicious of the drinks he gave her.

She found a package for a drug that is used to induce abortion. It can cause more severe side effects, such as chest pain, heavy bleeding, and painful menstruation, and can be caused by the use of the drug msoprostol.

According to the AP, Herring and his wife were separated, and court documents show that he was unhappy about the unborn child.

He asked his wife to drink the water at least six times over a month. She said she did not drink all of them.

The seal on a bottle of orange juice was broken by the person who gave it to her.

According to prosecutors, Herring put a powdered substance from a bag in his pocket into a drink and then gave his wife the drink. The packaging that contained Cyrux was found in the trash.
