The smoking gun- FEBRUARY 10--Inspired by a scene from the movie “Wedding Crashers,” a Wisconsin college student repeatedly placed Visine eye drops in a water bottle used by her roommate, who was sickened by the tainted liquid, police charge.
Luciana Reichel, 22, was charged last month with a felony count of placing foreign objects in edibles. Reichel, pictured at right, is scheduled for an initial Circuit Court appearance on March 7.According to a criminal complaint, on “numerous occasions” late last year Reichel placed Visine in a quart-sized water bottle used by Brianna Charapata, her 20-year-old roommate at a University of Wisconsin Oshkosh dorm. As a result of ingesting the tainted water, Charapata told cops, “she began feeling nauseated, suffered from diarrhea, loss of appetite and was otherwise very tired for no apparent reason.”
Charapata, who said that her doctor was unable to explain the cause of her symptoms, recalled having to leave an October 18 marketing exam when she suddenly became ill.Reichel’s Visine scheme ended after she told another student about the prank, and that classmate, Laura Gallas, informed Charapata. Gallas told police that Reichel laughed when describing the Visine stunt “because the eye drops…had been making [Charapata] sick.” After seeing this, Gallas added, Reichel said she “decided to add more to her water bottle a few days later and the same results happened.”
When confronted by cops, Reichel reportedly confessed to the Visine stunt, claiming “she got the idea from watching the movie ‘The Wedding Crashers’ where an actor in the movie put eye drops in someone’s drink and it made that person sick.” In the 2005 comedy, actor Owen Wilson’s character places eye drops in the wine of a rival, played by Bradley Cooper, who becomes violently ill.
If convicted of the tampering charge, Reichel, once a star swimmer on the university’s swim team, faces a maximum of 3-1/2 years in prison.
Nice, the old visine in your roommate's water bottle prank. I don't have a problem at all with what Luciana did. Dorm roommates are a pain in the fucking ass. Being over 18 and sharing a bedroom with someone of the same sex is plain weird. I hated my freshman year roommate. The fucking guy would stay up past 2 every night doing homework, then wake me up at 6:30 in the morning by running his coffee maker. He would constantly spill bong water on my rug, and try to tag along to parties. I literally would have to sneak out of the dorm on a Friday night just to ditch him. I wish I knew about this prank back then. Sure it's technically poisoning someone, and it's illegal, but I would've loved to see that bastard running out of his marketing exam, about to shit himself.
wow! good job Reichel. You did a good favor by killing that bitch. You know i would do the same thing to my father's coffee too. i never liked my father anyway but, yet and still, my mother wants to be with that bastard.
