PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) An Oregon man who drugged his daughter and her friends with fruit smoothies laced with a sleeping medication after they didnt go to bed during a sleepover was sentenced to two years in prison.
Michael Meyden, a 57-year-old from the Portland suburb of Lake Oswego, apologized during his sentencing Monday after pleading guilty to three felony counts of causing another person to ingest a controlled substance, The Oregonian reported.

He said he planned a fun sleepover last summer for his daughter and three of her friends, all then age 12, but they didnt go to bed by 11 p.m. as he wanted. Meyden said he wanted them well rested for the next day, but he also wanted them to go to bed so he could sleep.

His sleep, his desire that they be rested, his plans for how the youth should enjoy a fun slumber party.

"....she saw Meyden return to make sure the girls were asleep. He moved the arm of one girl and the body of another and put his finger under ones nose to see if she was asleep."
