KAUZ News Channel 6 reports that a Rider High School student is charged with a felony after putting part of an alkaline battery in an apple.  Wichita Falls Police arrested 17 year-old Kaden Deming on Tuesday.  He is charged with tampering with a consumer product, a second degree felony.

While the intended target may have been the unidentified teacher, that apple ended up being partially consumed by another student who discovered a sharp object inside the apple.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Deming had been released from the Wichita County Jail on bond.
