Teen admits he put needles in groceries in Lehigh County supermarket, DA says

A teenager admitted he put 11 needles into groceries at the Giant Food Store where he worked in Lehigh County, authorities said.

Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin said the teen confessed to the allegations Thursday and his case was disposed of in Lehigh County Juvenile Court. The teen in April was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of criminal mischief.

Martin declined to release further details because the defendant is a juvenile, according to a news release.
