The case follows a preliminary hearing tied to an alleged medication switch during pregnancy.
GLASGOW, Ky. — A felony case against a Bowling Green man accused of switching his pregnant girlfriend’s medication is headed toward grand jury review after a preliminary hearing in Barren District Court.
The court step moves the case beyond the first arrest report and into the next stage of the felony process. Abdulah Mohmand, 26, is charged with first-degree attempted fetal homicide. Investigators say his pregnant girlfriend reported that medication prescribed to her had been replaced with misoprostol. The charge stems from a May 25 report in Glasgow, where the woman told authorities she was concerned for the safety of her unborn child.
The preliminary hearing gave the public a clearer picture of how police say the case began. Kentucky State Police Detective Aaron Hampton testified that the woman had gone to T.J. Samson Community Hospital in Glasgow. She reported that her progesterone, a prescribed hormone, had been switched with misoprostol. Glasgow police contacted Kentucky State Police, and Post 3 took up the investigation. State police said the agency was notified at about 7:30 a.m. that morning. The woman reported that her boyfriend, identified as Mohmand, had replaced her prescription medication with an unknown medication. Police said she was pregnant at the time and feared for the unborn child.
After the report, investigators obtained a search warrant for Mohmand’s residence in Bowling Green. State police said medication found during the search matched the unknown medication located at the woman’s home. The state police release did not name the drug, but later court-based reports identified it as misoprostol. Police allege the medication was the same substance used in the attempted offense. Investigators have not released every detail about the search, including where in the residence the medication was found, how it was packaged or whether other items were seized. Those details may become part of discovery if the case is indicted.
Court documents cited in reports say the woman told investigators about a dispute over the pregnancy. She said Mohmand’s family lived in Afghanistan and did not approve of him having a child with her. The documents quoted the woman as saying Mohmand had told her “they could not have a baby because his family would kill him.” Mohmand denied knowledge of the suspicious pills, according to reports. He also said he had agreed to have the baby. Reports say investigators showed him a bottle of misoprostol found at his residence. After that, he asked for a lawyer and stopped answering questions. No public report has shown a final plea entered in the case.
The next stage is expected to focus on what prosecutors can present to a grand jury. A grand jury does not decide guilt. It reviews evidence to determine whether there is probable cause to indict a person on a felony charge. If Mohmand is indicted, the case would move into a higher phase of court proceedings, with a formal arraignment, evidence exchange and later hearings. If no indictment is returned, the current charge could be dismissed or altered. Local coverage has reported that first-degree attempted fetal homicide is punishable by five to 10 years in prison if a defendant is convicted.
The case file remains incomplete in public view. Police have not publicly said whether the woman took the switched pills, whether doctors found any injury to the pregnancy or whether medical records confirmed exposure to misoprostol. It also remains unclear how the woman first noticed the medication problem. Investigators have not publicly said whether the pills looked different, whether the bottle label had changed or whether someone else saw the medication before police were called. These facts could matter because prosecutors would need to connect the drug, the alleged switch and the defendant’s intent. The defense may also seek to test each of those links.
Mohmand was arrested after state police announced the investigation May 25. He was lodged in the Barren County Detention Center. Early reports said he was held without bond, while a local report later cited jail information showing a $100,000 cash bond. Court dates also shifted as the case moved forward, with one local account listing a June 11 appearance and later reports noting a June 25 arraignment. Such changes are common in the early days of felony cases, especially when an arrest is followed by a preliminary hearing and then possible grand jury action. The public record now points to grand jury review as the next major step.
The state police release was brief and did not include the more detailed allegations that later surfaced in court documents. It said a Glasgow woman reported that her boyfriend had replaced her prescription medication with an unknown medication. It said she was pregnant and concerned for her unborn child. It said investigators obtained a search warrant, found matching medication and charged Mohmand with attempted fetal homicide. It also named Detective Jason Warinner as the lead investigator. Those official details formed the base of the case. Later reports added the alleged family statement, the drug name and Mohmand’s denial.
The allegation brings together medical evidence, witness statements and search-warrant evidence. The woman’s account gives investigators the timeline and alleged motive. The hospital report places the concern in a medical setting. The search gives prosecutors a physical item they say matched the pills found at the woman’s home. Mohmand’s reported denial and request for counsel form part of the interview record. Each piece would need to be organized for a grand jury, and any later trial would require prosecutors to prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. At this stage, the court process is still built on probable cause.
Glasgow, where the report began, is a Barren County city with local medical and court services for the region. Bowling Green, where Mohmand lived, is in Warren County and is one of south-central Kentucky’s largest cities. The case crossed county lines through the woman’s report and the search of Mohmand’s residence. State police Post 3, based in the region, became the investigating agency. Barren County remains the center of the court process because the woman’s report and hospital contact occurred there.
Authorities have not announced any additional arrests or charges. They also have not released the woman’s name, and the public reports have kept her identity out of the story. The next public development is expected from the grand jury process or a scheduled court hearing. Until then, Mohmand remains accused, not convicted, and the investigation remains open.
