DAWSONVILLE — A 43-year-old Cumming woman is behind bars after authorities say she spiked her Waffle House co-worker’s drink with methamphetamine.

Sonserea Dawn Evans has been charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and aggravated battery. Both charges are felonies, according to authorities.

As of Wednesday morning, a bond amount had not been set.

Dawson County Sheriff’s Capt. Tony Wooten said authorities were called to the eatery on Hwy. 53 about midnight on Dec. 23, after a call was received that a 37-year-old male employee was having a medical emergency.

The man was taken to an area hospital in what was described as serious condition, according to Wooten.

“He is still under medical care is my understanding. It is also my understanding that at one point he was in a comatose state and required a feeding tube and ventilator,” Wooten said.

Following the man’s hospitalization, law enforcement was notified that a video existed that showed the man’s drink had been drugged, according to authorities.

Waffle House management turned the video over to law enforcement.

“The video appeared to show Evans take her co-worker’s drink toward the bathroom area of the restaurant when he went outside, then shows her returning it and him drinking it,” Wooten said.

Evans’ motives remain unclear, according to Wooten, as she is not cooperating with the investigation.

Wooten said additional charges are possible, pending the man’s recovery.
