Published: October 3, 2007
NEW PORT RICHEY - A 15-year-old student at Harry Schwettman Educational Center was arrested by city police Tuesday, accused of trying to use Visine to poison a teacher.
Other students at the dropout prevention school saw Roberto Jesus Ortiz put something in the teacher's water Friday, according to a report. School staff interviewed the teen Monday, and Ortiz admitted to tainting the woman's water, the report states.
"He thought it would be funny if the victim got sick because he does not like the class or her," an officer wrote in his report.
Ortiz, of 7146 Maclura Drive, was arrested on a felony charge of poisoning food or water and taken to the Juvenile Assessment Center in Land O' Lakes.
