Teen accused of poisoning teacher’s drink
Posted May 16th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.foxnews.comA Louisiana teenager is being investigated for allegedly pouring a bottle of Visine into his teacher’s drink. Obviously he had heard of the urban legend that Visine causes diarrhea. Unfortunately it doesn’t, and it’s actually poisonous. Stick with the Ex-lax brownies, kids!
The teacher was treated at Riverland Medical Center and released, according to sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathleen Stevens.
Threats had been made before May 5 that such an incident would occur, parish schools Superintendent Loretta Blankenstein said.
The teenager was seeking revenge for another student the teacher had suspended, said Lee Ford, a school resource officer for the Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office did not return calls seeking details, including who knew of the plot.
