Henry County Police say 19-year-old Quinton Wilson dared man to drink a bizarre concoction that included industrial strength dishwashing detergent.

Atlanta, GA -- Henry County Police have filed new and more serious charges against a former Waffle House employee accused of poisoning a homeless man.

Family members say 50-year-old Rex Leo is in critical condition after drinking a concoction that included industrial strength dishwashing detergent.

Leo was homeless and, according his brother, Bob Leo, hooked on alcohol.

"He was trying to get his life back together. He was trying very hard. Apparently he wasn't able to. He seemed to be turning the corner, and then this happened," Bob said.

At a Henry County Waffle House, Henry County Police say, a cook, 19-year-old Quinton Wilson, dared the homeless man to drink a bizarre concoction.

"There were several different ingredients, possibly some Ivory soap. The main ingredient was some sort of machine dishwasher or dishwashing detergent," said Henry County Police Lt. Jason Bolton.

The potion sent Rex to the hospital.

As he was placed in the ambulance, Rex told paramedics that he had been offered what Wilson called a Christmas milkshake. Since he didn't know what was in it, Rex initially refused the drink.

But then, according to the police report, Wilson offered Leo $5.

Wilson was initially charged with reckless conduct, but now police have added a more serious felony charge of aggravated battery. That's because Rex is at Henry Medical Center in critical condition. He is unconscious, and according to family members, near death.

"If he survives this, he'll never be the same," said Bob Leo. "If he survives."

Wilson was fired from his job at the Waffle House after the incident. If he is convicted on the felony charge, he could be sentenced to as much as 20 years in prison.

"I hope he gets the max. I hope he gets the max for what he's done to my brother," Bob said.

After missing his initial court hearing on Friday morning, Wilson could be re-arrested and taken back to the Henry County Jail. If Rex dies, Wilson could also be charged with voluntary manslaughter.
