A viral video of the incident captured her foul-mouthed outburst, where she was heard shouting that the restraints are hurting her.

Dilone admitted that she had put "roach poison" in her father’s coffee when she was 11 with the intention to kill him.

She said, "It didn’t work. And in DR (Dominican Republic), we call it 'Tres Pasito'."

In the clip, Dilone seemed to settle down momentarily as she started singing the chorus to a song in Spanish.

However, after a while, she shouted, "So if anybody wants to kill somebody, put roach poison! But make sure it’s not expired, and make sure you put a lot of it!"

She claime that when she tried it on her father, it only "put him to sleep".
