There's another criminal bake sale story out of Chappaqua, where two scofflaw teens were busted for selling cupcakes and other baked goods in a public park without a license earlier this month. The latest incident kicked the criminality up a notch: a 16-year-old was arrested last week for selling marijuana brownies to two 13-year-old girls who ended up in the hospital. The Associated Press wins the prize for the corniest lede of the week: "Police say a suburban New York teenager has been arrested for trying out his own interpretation of the term high school." [Emphasis added, along with this sad trombone.]
Officials at Horace Greeley High School in Chappaqua called police at 1:30 p.m. on November 16th to report that the two girls were feeling dizzy and nauseated. "It was determined that two girls ate a brownie that had been laced with marijuana," Detective Sgt. James Wilson tells LoHud.com. "They ate it at the school, knowing there was marijuana in it, and felt sick shortly afterward."
The girls were rushed by ambulance to a Westchester Hospital, and were treated and released. The unidentified baker was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of criminal sale of marijuana. It's unclear whether the brownies were made improperly or if this was just a case of two inexperienced teens who didn't know enough to balance out their mellow with a little Four Loko.
