Police say a Glasgow woman reported the change after fearing for the safety of her unborn child.

GLASGOW, Ky. — A Bowling Green man accused of replacing his pregnant girlfriend’s prescription pills with abortion medication is facing an attempted fetal homicide charge after a Glasgow woman contacted state police, authorities said.

The case has drawn attention because investigators say it began inside a private relationship and turned on a small but dangerous change in medication. Kentucky State Police said the woman reported the suspected switch May 25 after realizing the pills she had been taking were not what she expected. Abdulah Mohmand, 26, was later arrested, jailed in Barren County and accused of trying to end the pregnancy without the woman’s knowledge.

State police said Post 3 received the report at about 7:30 a.m. May 25 from a woman in Glasgow. She told investigators that her boyfriend, identified by police as Mohmand, had replaced her prescription medication with an unknown medication. She also told police she was pregnant and was worried about her unborn child. The report led investigators to seek a search warrant for Mohmand’s residence. After the search, police said they found medication that matched the unknown pills discovered at the woman’s home. Kentucky State Police said Detective Jason Warinner was assigned to lead the ongoing investigation. The agency did not identify the woman, and public reports have not named her.

Court documents cited in reports say the woman told investigators that Mohmand had said his family in Afghanistan would not approve of him having a child with her. The documents quoted her as saying Mohmand told her “they could not have a baby because his family would kill him.” Police said the medication found during the search was misoprostol, a drug that can be used in medical abortion and also for other medical purposes, including inducing labor. Investigators later said the medication recovered from Mohmand’s residence matched the unknown medication found at the woman’s residence. Mohmand told authorities he had no knowledge of the suspicious pills, according to reports citing court documents. When investigators showed him the bottle, he requested a lawyer and did not continue answering questions, reports said.

The woman’s original prescription was reported to be progesterone, a hormone that may be used during pregnancy and for other medical treatment. Investigators have said the concern was not simply that the wrong medicine was present, but that the wrong pills may have been placed where the woman expected to find prescribed medication. Police have not released all medical details about the woman’s condition or the condition of the pregnancy. Reports based on a preliminary hearing said the woman had checked into T.J. Samson Community Hospital in Glasgow before the case was referred to state police. The hospital report placed the case in Barren County, while Mohmand was identified as a resident of Bowling Green in neighboring Warren County.

Mohmand was charged with first-degree attempted fetal homicide, a felony case that moved through Barren District Court after his arrest. Local reports said the charge is punishable by five to 10 years in prison if a defendant is convicted. Mohmand was lodged in the Barren County Detention Center. Early jail information differed across reports, with some saying he was held without bond and a local report later listing a $100,000 cash bond. His court schedule also changed as the case moved forward, with reports first listing a June 11 court date and later an arraignment set for June 25. A preliminary hearing sent the case toward grand jury review, where prosecutors may seek an indictment.

The first public account of the case came from Kentucky State Police, which issued a brief release the same day Mohmand was arrested. The release did not name the drug, describe a motive or say whether the pregnancy continued. Those details appeared later in reports that cited court documents and testimony. The state police release said only that a Glasgow woman had reported the switch, that a search warrant had been obtained, that matching medication had been found and that Mohmand had been lodged in the Barren County Detention Center. The short public statement left several facts unresolved, including how long the pills may have been in the woman’s medication, how many may have been taken and how investigators traced the drugs.

At the preliminary hearing, testimony added more detail to the record. Kentucky State Police Detective Aaron Hampton testified that Glasgow police contacted the state police after the woman went to T.J. Samson Community Hospital and reported that her progesterone had been switched with misoprostol. That testimony placed the hospital visit before the state police investigation and gave a clearer path for how the case moved from a medical concern to a criminal charge. The hearing also placed the case before a judge for an early review of probable cause. Such hearings do not decide guilt. They determine whether prosecutors have enough evidence to keep a felony case moving toward a grand jury.

The allegation centers on control over a pregnancy and on evidence that prosecutors say was found in two places. Investigators have described the woman as the person who noticed something was wrong and contacted authorities. Mohmand, through the criminal process, is presumed innocent unless convicted. No public record reviewed for the reports showed that he had entered a plea by the first round of coverage. It also was not clear from the public reports whether he had retained a lawyer. The case remains limited by what police, court documents and hearing testimony have made public.

Glasgow is the Barren County seat, about 95 miles south of Louisville, and Bowling Green is a regional center about 35 miles west of Glasgow. The case links the two south-central Kentucky communities through the woman’s report, the search of Mohmand’s residence and the Barren County court file. State police Post 3, which covers the Bowling Green region, handled the investigation. The Barren County Detention Center held Mohmand after his arrest, and the Barren County court system became the place where the next procedural steps were scheduled. The police release described the case as ongoing, meaning investigators may still collect records, lab reports, interviews and medical information.

Prosecutors are expected to present the case to a grand jury after the preliminary hearing. Authorities have not said whether additional charges are possible or whether the woman or pregnancy suffered lasting medical harm. If an indictment is returned, the case would move further through the felony process, with later hearings focused on evidence, plea status and trial scheduling.
