A Milwaukee man has been arrested and charged after allegedly putting super glue into his coworker's can of Coca-Cola.

Joseph Ross, 34, was arrested after the co-worker set up a surveillance camera to catch Ross in the act. The co-worker told authorities they had noticed something wrong with their drinks for two to three weeks prior.
