A teenager in Wisconsin is facing two felony charges for spiking his stepdad's energy drinks with cow tranquilizers.  He says he did it because he thought it was funny.

The teens stepdad went to the hospital with a droopy face, slurred speech and heavy breathing, back in January 2018. The man was told that the symptoms were from a combination of energy drinks, stress and a lack of sleep. Then it happened again a few months later so he started to monitor his beverages...

He found evidence that led him to believe his stepson may be tampering with his beverages.  Liquid saved from some of his drinks tested positive for sedative used for cattle and the teen admitted to doing it.
