Teenager Arrested for Drugging Her Parents’ Milkshakes

A 16-year-old California girl has been charged with drugging her parents with sleeping pills so she could use the Internet.

Police in Rocklin say the girl was upset with her parents for not letting her go online after 10 p.m., so she bought them milkshakes and crushed up a friend's prescription sleeping pills into them.

Lt. Lon Milka told KOVR-TV in Sacramento that the parents thought the milkshakes tasted odd and only drank about a quarter of them, but it was enough to knock them out for the night.

The parents were suspicious when they woke up groggy the next morning and took a drug test at the local police station, which turned up positive.  They then confronted their daughter, who admitted to drugging the shakes.

The girl and her 15-year-old friend were arrested on charges of conspiracy and willfully mingling a pharmaceutical into food.
