A Nicholas County High School student was suspended after being accused of urinating in an ice machine that at least 31 people used before the incident was reported. School law officials say the teen will be charged but they are unsure what to charge him with. Right now, the teen is serving a ten day suspension, pending an expulsion hearing.

The incident happened after another student dared the boy and while there were several witnesses, it wasn't reported to the school's principal until the next day. By the time the machine was taken out of service, some students and staff had taken ice from the machine.

Health officials say people who used the machine are not at risk for getting sick. They explained that urine is sterile because the body has its own filtering system. If any bacteria did make it through, the ice's temperature would have killed it. But some students, parents and staff remained worried. The Nicholas County School Board is picking up doctor bills to placate those who were exposed and want to be checked out anyway.
