Fla. Middle School Student Accused Of Drugging Teacher's Drink

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (CBS4) -- A 13-year-old central Florida middle school student has been charged after allegedly sneaking a sleeping pill into his teacher's drink, authorities said.

Osceola County Sheriff's deputies said the Discovery Intermediate School student confessed to putting Clonidine, a prescription blood pressure medication, into his teacher's drink because she yelled at him in class.

The Associated Press did not name the student because he is a minor.

Authorities said the teacher told other teachers she felt nauseous, dizzy and drowsy and went home sick on May 16.

The student was charged with poison of food with the intent to injure. He was booked into Osceola County Juvenile Detention Center without bond.
