(May 16, 2008)--A Louisiana high school student is accused of poisoning his teacher after the educator in Vidalia, La. was hospitalized with severe intestinal distress.
Authorities say the 16-year-old spiked her soft drink with eye drops.
She was treated and released.
Investigators think the boy put about three-quarters of a bottle of eye drops into the teacher's drink on May 5.
The school superintendent says the student had made poisoning threats before the incident.
The official said the teen was seeking revenge for another student who had been suspended by the teacher.
The student denied spiking the drink.
The main ingredient in eye drops can be highly toxic if ingested.
