A former Wheaton North High School student was given a chance Wednesday to keep a crude prank off his permanent record, but not before a judge gave him a good scolding.
Marco Castro, 17, pleaded guilty earlier to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct for tainting salad dressing in the school cafeteria with his bodily fluids.
Castro must serve 120 hours of public service with an AIDS-related agency, pay a $750 fine, continue counseling, stay in college and write an apology to school officials for the Dec. 6 incident.
A judge told Castro if he does all that — and stays out of trouble — he’ll erase the conviction from the teen’s record after two years.
“This was beyond stupid,” DuPage Associate Judge Terence Sheen said. “It was insulting and outrageous. If you prove to me you’re worthy of another chance, in two years, then I will give it to you.
“If you don’t, you will carry this (conviction) with you the rest of your life.”
Castro admitted taking a bottle of the salad dressing into a school bathroom, ejaculating into it and returning the tainted contents to the student commons, where juniors and seniors eat lunch.
Administrators became aware of what happened shortly thereafter, when a group of students reported Castro. Afterward, the senior was expelled. He had enough credits to graduate.
Castro told police he developed the prank after watching a movie which features a series of crude stunts.
