Now investigators say the syringes actually contained drugs used to euthanize animals.
The original charge against Horn was dropped and he is now charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon to a family member. That is a first degree felony. His bond has been setat $1 million.
His wife, Misty Gail Horn, who he is accused of attacking, is hospitalized in intensive care. And now, a second woman has come forward to say she also had been attacked by Horn.
