Case dropped against Lewisville teen who tried to get high innocently sniffed teacher’s hand sanitizing gel

by PegNews wire

Here's my first question: Denton County prosecutors actually brought up a case against a seventh grader who reportedly used his teacher's hand sanitizer and inhaled deeply? Here's my second question: Hand sanitizer is considered "the latest thing to huff" (according to Lewisville assistant police chief Joni Eddy)? I have tons of that stuff! I could have been high this whole time!

Questions aside, a Lewisville seventh grader was put through an ordeal that started in October 2007, when he allegedly "inhaled heavily" some of his teacher's hand sanitizing gel (if it's a popular thing to huff, should teachers keep it on their desks?). Then last Tuesday the boy's father was served a petition charging that his son used the product in such a way to become intoxicated. After hiring attorney J. Michael Price II, the DA's office decided they made a mistake and the case has been dropped. Despite the dropped case, Joni Eddy maintains that her staff pursued the case appropriately. I imagine some people would tend to disagree.
