A 13-year-old was arrested on felony wanton endangerment chargers for allegedly putting peanut butter cookie crumbs in the lunch box of a classmate with a severe peanut allergy.

Under the Kentucky statue for wanton endangerment, a person is guilty "when, under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, he wantonly engages in conduct which creates a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to another person."
