April Fool's prank lands teen in jail and her boyfriend in hospital 'after she jokingly told him she was pregnant and threatened him with a knife'
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
A teenager has ended up in jail and her boyfriend has been treated in hospital after an April Fool's prank went wrong. Tori Wheeler, 18, jokingly told her boyfriend, Derek Bauer, that she was pregnant in Wagoner County, Arizona on Monday, Sheriff's Maj. Gary Handley said. But on hearing the news, Bauer became angry and she pulled out a knife and threatened him - telling police this was also an April Fool's joke.
But when Bauer continued to grow angry and said he would call the police, she allegedly lost her temper, cut him across the throat and bit him twice, police said. Authorities responded to the Wagoner County residence following a complaint for assault with a deadly weapon. Bauer was taken to hospital by ambulance and needed seven stitches for the cuts to his neck.
But his injuries were not considered to be life threatening and he has since been released, authorities said. Handley said deputies met Bauer at the local hospital before he was sent home. Wheeler was taken to the Wagoner County jail, where she faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
