Attack by Anaphylaxis

Jay Patrick of World Staff reports,

According to the report of Wenatchee Police Officer Steve Evitt, while at lunch at Wenatchee High School on Sept. 8, Hickson heard a conversation in which it was mentioned that a male student sitting next to him was allergic to peanuts. Upon learning that information, Hickson allegedly grabbed someone’s peanut butter sandwich, put his fingers in the peanut butter and wiped it on the victim’s forehead. The victim then told Hickson he was allergic to peanut butter and he shouldn’t do that. While the victim was waiting to see if he would have a reaction, Hickson got more peanut butter on his fingers and again put it on the victim, the report said.

The student was suspended from school.  Luckily the victim did not suffer an allergic reaction.

Police reports are available at the Smoking Gun.
