Syracuse man admits that he put bleach in family's milk

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - A Syracuse man has pleaded guilty to injuring his two young nephews by putting bleach in their milk after having an argument with their father.

Aaron Hickman, 21, pleaded guilty Wednesday in state Supreme Court to felony assault charges.

Hickman was living with his brother, the brother's girlfriend and the couple's 1- and 3-year-old sons when he got into an argument with his sibling last May. After Hickman's brother told him he had to leave, Hickman poured bleach into a bottle of milk in the refrigerator.

Both boys were sickened when they drank the tainted milk the following morning. They were treated at a Syracuse hospital.

Hickman faces two years in state prison when he's sentenced Jan. 25.
