PALM HARBOR - Without question, nobody deserves what happened to one teen at Palm Harbor University High School last month.

But, of all people, it turned out to be a shy freshman honors student who drank from an apple juice bottle filled with urine - a criminal prank by two other boys, officials say.

"He's a good kid," said the victim's mother, Wendy Cason. "He didn't deserve that."

Two freshmen, both 15, stole the bottle from a campus vending machine in early April, poured out the juice, replaced it with their waste and put the bottle back into the machine, officials say.

On Thursday, Pinellas County sheriff's deputies arrested the two boys at the high school.

The charge?

Poisoning food or water with intent to injure or cause bodily harm.

A felony.

"This is obviously a serious crime," said sheriff's Sgt. Jim Bordner.

The St. Petersburg Times is not identifying the 15-year-old victim or the two other teens, both from Palm Harbor, who were taken to the Pinellas County Juvenile Assessment Center.
