MISSISSIPPI MAN SENTENCED FOR TAMPERING WITH A CONSUMER PRODUCT
Jackson, Miss - Alfred Thornhill, 42, of Sontag, Mississippi, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III, to 18 months in federal prison followed by one year of supervised release for tampering with a consumer product, announced U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Davis. Thornhill was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,000.
Thornhill was employed at a dairy farm near Crystal Springs, Mississippi, when he poured chlorine, acid and bleach into a stainless steel container of milk right after the milk had been collected from the cows on March 28, 2014. The toxic chemicals were discovered in the milk by the farm’s owner just before the milk was to be picked up for transportation to a distribution center in New Orleans. The contents of the caustic agents were confirmed by a lab analysis conducted at Mississippi State University.
According to evidence disclosed during the guilty plea hearing, Thornhill confessed to USDA-OIG Special Agents that he poisoned the milk because he was angry at the dairy farm owner and intended to ruin the milk in order to financially harm the dairy farmer.
This case was investigated by the USDA- OIG and the Mississippi

and then he confessed that he really doesn't even drink wine but he is for wine in grocery stores just so he can financially hurt liquor store owners who have complied with existing law for 50 years.
18 months? That's all? Because his stupid plan was discovered and no one was injured, this crime is treated like a minor annoyance? Why doesn't intent doesn't come into play, given that he intended to hurt or kill people?
Should have gotten twenty years. What a nutty sentence. The man intended to kill people.
Was it his first time to do this? Or the first time he got caught?
