A Texas mother has been arrested after her son's alleged stalker was sent to the hospital after "intentionally" consuming a sports drink laced with other non-toxic substances, according to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
Jennifer Lynn Rossi, 45, mixed lemon, salt and vinegar in a bottle of her son's sports drink to supposedly "prevent it from being stolen at school by other students," authorities said in a statement.

His son gave the bottle last Tuesday, during physical education class, to the victim who experienced nausea and a headache shortly after drinking from the container.
The agents went to the Legacy Traditional School in Alamo Ranch to treat the sick minor.
Although lemon, salt and vinegar are not toxic ingredients, the victim had to be hospitalized for additional medical monitoring.
He was eventually discharged.
An investigation found that Rossi “intentionally mixed the contents of the drink.”
Rossi was charged with causing bodily injury to a minor, for which she was booked into the Bexar County Jail on $1,000 bail.
