A party for the students of the Bronx Center for Multi-Handicapped Children was going fine Wednesday afternoon when, at about 2:45, a few students started feeling a little funny. More confident. Pugnacious. Flamboyant. And they started talking really loud and repeating pointless stories.

A few other students told teachers that the soda they were all drinking tasted kind of funny.

As 13 of the severely disabled youngsters were rushed to the hospital to sober up, smirking 16-year-old Cordero Harrigan was arrested for allegedly spiking the soda with, of all things, cognac. The merry prankster now faces 13 counts of child endangerment and, for some reason, gang assault. His connection to the party was unclear.
