OCONTO, WI (WTAQ) – Two teenagers accused of poisoning their teacher’s drink as a prank are headed to trial.
Hailey Brock and Gavin Gilbertson were in Oconto County Circuit Court Thursday for their arraignments. Brock pled not guilty, while Gilbertson had the judge enter a not guilty plea on his behalf after he stood mute.
Online court records show that both Gillett High School students return to court for pre-trial hearings March 16. A trial date has not been set.
Both are charged with recklessly endangering safety and placing a foreign object in an edible after allegedly pouring white board cleaning solution in the drink of teacher Ray Johnson.
Johnson went to the hospital for treatment and was released the same day.
Authorities say Brock admitted to spiking the soda, calling it a “prank”. Gilbertson helped, according to police.
