There's nothing quite like the bond between an uncle and his nephew. Unless, of course, we're talking about Florida Man who tried to poison his nephew by pouring eye drops on the nephew's sandwich.

FLORIDA MAN STRIKES AGAIN!

DATELINE - Pinellas Park, and the Saga of Florida Man James Leach.

He was having lunch with his nephew at an unnamed business a few days ago, so they ordered their meal and Leach asked also for a bottle of eyedrops. A witness told police that Leach said he was having issues with his nephew and that he hated him that day, according to the police report.

Well, after handing Leach the eyedrops, the witness said Leach opened the bottle and proceeded to pour the eyedrop solution all over the meatball sandwich that the nephew had ordered.

The witness said, hey, that could hurt him. And Leach responded by saying, nah, it'll only cause him to poop his pants and puke his brains out.

This must be some kind of relationship these two have.

Police reviewed security footage from the business that clearly showed Leitch taking the bottle of eye solution and pouring it on the sandwich. Police then went to Leach's home after they got the address from the business's records.

Not their first rodeo

Police recognized the address because they've been there before dealing with domestic-related incidents.

Leach's nephew told police that he had eaten a small part of the sandwich and did not know it had been tampered with. He refused medical treatment.

Now that is dangerous because drops are not meant to be put on food. I think we all know that. You can get pretty sick from it, and I suppose if you consume enough of it, it can kill you.

Well, at any rate, Leech was charged with poisoning food or water and was booked into the Pinellas County jail, where he's being held on $50,000 bond.

That must be one heck of a Thanksgiving around that family's dinner table.
