A Madison man accused of threatening and poisoning a woman with chemicals used to put animals to sleep may have committed more crimes like it.
Police say a UW student was attacked in her home on Mound Street earlier this week and her attacker may have stolen the chemicals to poison her with from UW’s Zoology Department. The suspect, John Mulvihill, appeared in court this afternoon and prosecutors say the crime he is accused of may not have been his first. The communities targeted could be anywhere from here to Minnesota.
