Teenager Dumped Ice Water On 90 Year Old Woman (3 Times) - Told Police Is Was 'Funny'

A Cloquet, Minn., teenager told police that he found it so funny when he dumped a pitcher of ice water on a 90-year-old nursing home resident in June that he returned and did it twice more, in December and again last month.

"Me and were like, this is gonna be hilarious, 'cause this lady was talking to herself and she was yelling and stuff so we threw it on her," the 16-year-old boy told police, describing the first incident.

"She started screaming and freaking out so we thought this was hilariously funny, and we were all talking about it in school and everyone was laughing about it," he said, according to the criminal complaint.

On Friday, the boy was charged with felony stalking in Carlton County District Court. His name was not made public because he is a juvenile.

However, County Attorney Thomas Pertler said Monday that he will ask a judge next week to certify the boy as an adult and that he may charge the boy's three teenage friends with aiding and abetting. The friends are from Proctor, about 16 miles away, and all four attend high school there.

The boy allegedly instigated the incidents at Sunnyside Health Care Center, then ran away. The home is attached to the Cloquet hospital, about 140 miles north of the Twin Cities.

The youths were apprehended after the third incident, when a nursing home aide jumped in her car to chase them, got the license plate number and drove up beside the car to see who was in it.

She broke off pursuit after they crossed a median and sped away.

3. Those little bastards are lucky they didn't mess with anyone where I work

They would have been begging for me to call the police. I saw these little bastards in the local newspaper, they need to be beaten with a tire iron.
