Overview
- About 10 students became sick after eating candy brought by a peer, with officers called to Horizon Middle School around 12:40 p.m. Monday.
- Staff followed safety protocols and called EMS, and two students were taken for evaluation while the others went home with guardians.
- Police say the candy likely contained THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, based on observed reactions, and no lab tests have been announced.
- Investigators report that students involved have not cooperated, which has limited fact-gathering and left potential charges under consideration.
- The principal urged families to talk with kids about not eating unknown items, a renewed warning for a school that also reported a fentanyl arrest late last year.
