It sounds like a potentially harmless prank, putting some hot sauce in the marinara sauce, but it turned into battery charges for a Chicago high school student. That's definitely not a funny situation to be in.
The 17-year-old Highland Park High School student is being charged as a juvenile on five counts of misdemeanor battery in the May 14 prank. Three cafeteria workers were treated by the school's nurse before being treated at a local hospital for coughing, heezing, shortness of breath and skin rashes, school district spokeswoman Natalie Kaplan told the Chicago Tribune.
Highland Park Police Deputy Chief George Pfutzenreuter said the employees did not have to ingest the hot sauce to develop symptoms because it wasn't ordinary hot sauce.
"I don't think you can find this one in the store," he said of the Da' Bomb hot sauce brand. "It sounds like this kid had to get it someplace special."
Two students also reported symptoms, but did not require a trip to the hospital, Kaplan told the newspaper.
