Texas Man Accidently Roofied After Drinking His Wife’s Drink

A night out at a Houston bar turned into a nightmare for a husband who was mistakingly drugged instead of his wife.

A NORMAL NIGHT OUT

While enjoying a night out at a Montrose bar, Rudyard, Daniel, and Melissa Zuniga had a startling experience. “It was supposed to be just a normal night,” Daniel said.

However, things took a turn for the worse when Melissa noticed a man acting oddly. “I had my drink right here in front of me,” she said. After stirring and drinking from it, she set it down. A random man then approached her, sat next to her, and said, “Hi.” Melissa recounted, “He told me, ‘It looks like you’re stuck with me tonight.’ I was like, whatever. It kind of was, it was creepy.”

HUSBAND DRINKS WIFE'S DRINK BEFORE LEAVING

Initially, Melissa thought it was just a strange encounter and was ready to leave. Not wanting to waste the drink, Daniel picked up his wife's cup and took a large gulp before leaving.

As they walked out of the bar, Daniel began acting strange. By the time they got home Daniel was severely impaired. He began crawling on the floor, cursing, and acting violently. Melissa had to text her daughters and ask for help bringing in their father. “We thought he had just been very drunk,” their daughter Natalia said.

The next day, Daniel took an over-the-counter drug test, which revealed a massive variety of substances he had never used, that's when the family concluded that Daniel was roofied. “It wasn’t even for me,” Daniel said. “He wanted to hurt my wife, and that’s even more infuriating.”

The family reported the incident to the Houston Police Department and is working with Rudyard’s owner, who is committed to helping and ensuring such incidents don’t happen again.
