An investigator with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department carries evidence bags into the home of Dr. Hal Hill on Lookout Mountain Tuesday.
Dr. Hal HillThe attorneys for the doctor whose wife has accused him of poisoning her coffee denied the allegations Wednesday afternoon.
Liesa Hill, a pharmacist, filed an order of protection Friday against her husband, Dr. Hal Hill. She said she suspected he was poisoning her coffee and causing her to be ill. Lab results confirmed last week that a sample of coffee Liesa Hill gave investigators contained high levels of barium.
The firm Davis & Hoss is representing Hal Hill, attorney Lee Davis said. He cautioned against drawing conclusions before the investigation into Liesa Hill’s allegations is complete.
“We strongly deny any allegations of wrong-doing or misconduct toward his wife,” he said. “I expect there will be a full investigation, and I hope that nobody will rush to any conclusions.”
No charges have been filed in the case, which is being handled by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and Lookout Mountain police. Lookout Mountain Police Chief Randall Bowden did not return a request to comment Wednesday evening.
