College Chick Gives Professor Ex-Lax Cookies

UPI - WAUSAU, Wis., April 26 (UPI) -- A Wisconsin woman accused of giving
laxative-laced cookies to her college professor was ordered to pay a
$300 fine.




Becky Riiser, 38, of Wausau, pleaded no contest Thursday to three
misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges and was fined after prosecutors
agreed to reduce the original felony charge of placing a foreign object
in food, the Wausau Daily Herald reported Monday.




Riiser admitted to investigators she had placed cookies laced with
ex-lax outside the office door of University of Wisconsin Marathon
County biology Professor Aruni Pehl-DeSilva in December 2009. The
professor became ill after eating one of the cookies, prosecutors said.




"It was supposed to be a stupid, practical joke," Riiser wrote in a
January 2010 apology letter to Pehl-DeSilva. "It was something I didn't
think through."

I have to admit, there was more than one teacher in my day that I would have loved to do this too.  Props to this girl for having the balls to do it.  What is $300 dollars anyway?  It's the embarrassment of getting caught that is the worst penalty.
