(Scroll down for video) The wife of an Ohio judge is behind bars after she allegedly poisoned her husband with antifreeze, according to court proceedings.
Carla Rae Hague, 71, is sitting in a cell next to the courthouse where her husband is a judge. She is accused of poisoning her husband, Judge Charles Hague, with antifreeze.
Hague, a retired nurse, who has been married to the judge for 45 years, has been charged with criminal assault, and is expected to be charged with attempted murder and tampering with evidence possible.
The judge was taken to a hospital in Ashtabula County, and was later transferred to the Cleveland Clinic. Police received a call from the hospital after doctors discovered antifreeze in his system.
"The investigation determined that Hague had been poisoned intentionally," a statement from the sheriff's office said.
Carla Rae Hague was arrested just a day after her 71st birthday.
Judge Hague is recovering at home while his wife remains jailed.
