An Oklahoma City man accused of trying to poison his pregnant girlfriend and her unborn child with ricin will be staying in jail...
Investigators allege Rhoads offered to pay a former coworker to sprinkle the ricin he manufactured on pizza or in a soft drink and give it to his pregnant girlfriend in hopes it would kill her and her unborn child.

During a face-to-face meeting, the co-worker says Rhoads showed him a vial and claimed it was ricin. That same co-worker said Rhoads told him he downloaded a manual explaining how to manufacture the poison. The co-worker says while at Rhoads' home, he found what he believed to be equipment to make ricin in the bathroom.
"Information was gathered a few days ago that lead up to believe that a gentleman was trying to commit a homicide," Capt. Dexter Nelson said.
A credible source told News 9 test results confirm ricin was a substance found inside the home of suspect Preston Rhoads.
