Police in Enfield, Connecticut say a girl handed out marijuana-laced lollipops to classmates at her high school, and one student was hospitalized.Enfield Police Chief Carl Sferrazza tells the Journal Inquirer the Enfield High student acknowledged sharing the tainted lollipops, which were laced with THC, an active ingredient in marijuana. She said she received the candy in the mail from California.
The police chief says a 16-year-old girl was hospitalized overnight Monday after consuming one of the lollipops. But he says the student who brought the tainted lollipops to school denied giving any to her.
Because the student is being charged is a juvenile, she will not be arrested. Sferrazza says she'll instead be referred to juvenile court.
