a Kansas high school student has been charged with battery against his teacher using an unusual weapon -- vomit.
Matthew Haefele, a 17-year-old student at Olathe Northwest High School in Olathe, Kan., is due in court on July 1 to face a misdemeanor battery charge for throwing up on his Spanish teacher.
According to state law, offenders can be charged with battery if the action "intentionally [causes] physical contact with another person when done in a rude, insulting or angry manner."
Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison claims Haefele threw up on David Young as part of an end-of-semester prank, and said he hopes to teach the teen that his actions were no laughing matter.
what can I say?
