Charges possible in ice bucket challenge prank
Teens are accused of dumping feces, urine and tobacco on an autistic teen

CLEVELAND, OH (KTRK) -- Charges could be filed against teens who tricked an autistic teenager, claiming to help him compete in the ALS ice bucket challenge. But instead, they dumped urine, feces and tobacco on him.

The video was posted on YouTube. The boy's mother says the 15-year-old didn't know what was in the bucket until afterward.

Jenny McCarthy and Drew Carey had offered a reward to help find the teens who did it.

Prosecutors in Cuyahoga County are reviewing the evidence.

The teens claimed that they are all friends, and had been playing pranks on each other over the summer.
