Student charged with urinating in St. Joseph teacher's coffee pot

A 16-year-old Central High School student was charged in juvenile court Monday with third-degree assault after he allegedly urinated in a faculty coffee pot last month.

Buchanan County Juvenile Office Chief Administrator Linda Meyer confirmed the juvenile office first received the report late Friday afternoon of a student who allegedly entered a faculty area at the school on March 15 and urinated in the coffee. After legal review of the file, the student was charged Monday, but had not been arrested by the St. Joseph Police Department Monday afternoon.

Although the suspected act occurred in mid-March, Capt. Matt Rock with the St. Joseph Police Department said administrators notified the school resource officer on April 8 — more than three weeks after the alleged incident. While Central administrators continually declined to comment on the incident, Superintendent Melody Smith said the gap included spring break and additional time for the school’s technician to review video tape.

"Our technician had to pull video from multiple cameras and began looking at that," she said, adding that school administrators began investigating the incident in the first week of April following spring break after reviewing video. "It might seem like it was a long time, but really it was only about eight days."

I think he got suspended for a week. Times have changed. Probably a good thing, I guess.
