Spiking your parents' milkshakes proves unhealthy for two teens

Two teenage girls apparently may have spent time on the internet learning to make spiked milkshakes, but didn’t spend enough time learning how to cover their allegedly criminal tracks.

According to the Sacramento Bee, the pair of Placer County teens was arrested for allegedly drugging their parents so they could surf the web after their curfew.

The parents of the 15 year old girl who reside in Rocklin, California, apparently rubbed their daughter the wrong way when they imposed a curfew shutting the internet down routinely at 10 p.m.

So according to Lt. Lon Milka, a department spokesman for the Rocklin Police Department, the youngster and her 16 year old friend who was visiting from neighboring Roseville offered to go and pick up milkshakes for everyone .

The co-conspirators then allegedly ground up prescription sleeping pills and mixed them in with the parents’ milkshakes.

The parents drank only part of their milkshakes due to the funny taste and texture, but they drank enough that they were effectively and unknowingly “knocked out.’

According to Milka, when the parents woke up the next morning with headaches and feeling groggy, they went to the Rocklin Police to pick up drug test kits.

The parents tested themselves, and when they tested positive, they contacted the police.

The two girls were questioned, arrested, and then booked into Placer County juvenile hall on charges of conspiracy and willfully mingling a pharmaceutical with food.

The 15-year-old complained to police that her parents' Internet policy was "too strict," Milka said.
