Colorado student arrested for contaminating salad dressing

It’s like that scene out of Wedding Crashers – using Visine to induce vomiting.

I don’t know if that really works, but a spokesperson with the Colorado Springs Police Department told KOAA a couple of weeks ago a student at Vista Ridge High School had been arrested in connection a possible school lunch contamination incident.

The student admitted to pouring water from a Visine bottle into the ranch dressing at the cafeteria salad bar. He faces charges of Reckless Endangerment and Interference with School, Staff and Faculty.

Around 20 students at Vista Ridge High School felt nauseous following reports that another student had contaminated the ranch dressing at the school cafeteria with a bottle of Visine eye drops.

The school district is notifying all parents of the potential symptoms of Visine consumption which include nausea, vomiting, low blood pressure, low body temperature and possible seizures.
