A Bedford County teen could face reckless endangerment charges after he allegedly gave a classmate a near- lethal dose of a so- called "date rape" drug.
(----------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Bedford Co.]
It happened at Staunton River High School last Friday.
Police say one 17-year old boy gave another boy a capful of "G-H-B" to drink.
G-H-B, or Gamma Hydroxy (byoo-tih-rate) Butyrate can induce drowsiness and incoherence in a person.
The victim immediately fell ill, and went into cardiac arrest while he was being brought to the hospital.
