Spitball Could Land Boy in Prison

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - An errant spitball that put a fellow student in the hospital with an eye injury could land a 13-year-old California boy in juvenile prison for up to eight years on two felony convictions.
“I feel bad about it, and I’m sorry,” Jeffrey Figueroa told the San Francisco Chronicle, which on Wednesday reported his run-in with the law.
Figueroa has admitted that he shot the spitball – a gum wrapper moistened with saliva – on the first day of school last September at a middle school in the San Francisco suburb of Walnut Creek, California.
