"A Wilson Middle School eighth-grader might be expelled after admitting to putting urine in a teacher’s coffee pot on Friday, according to Muncie Community Schools officials.

"Wilson Principal DiLynn Phelps reported that early Friday a male student put urine in a teacher’s coffee pot in the classroom. The teacher noticed that the coffee had an unusual odor and reported it to the principal.

"A letter to all parents of Wilson students from Phelps and Muncie Community Schools Supt. Marlin B. Creasy is being mailed Tuesday stating that 'This type of student behavior will not be tolerated.'"

Creasy's strong words have prompted other schools in the area to reconsider their "Three strikes and you're out" policy when it comes to coffee urination.
