Teachers Deserve a Raise
A 16-year-old student is accused of poisoning his teacher, who went to the hospital with "severe intestinal distress" after the teen spiked a soft drink with eye drops, authorities said.
Investigators said the Concordia Education Center student is alleged to have put about three-fourths of a bottle of eye drops into the teacher's drink on May 5.
The teacher was treated at Riverland Medical Center and released, according to sheriff's spokeswoman Kathleen Stevens.
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 teenager faces a charge of simple battery by mingling substances.
The main ingredient of the drops â" tetrahydrozoline â" can be highly toxic if ingested and can cause such symptoms as nausea, coma and depression of the central nervous system, depending on the dose, according to the National Poison Control Center.
