Students sickened after eating cookies
Maui police said that two, possibly three students at Molokai High School got sick Friday after eating cookies that contained marijuana that were given to them by another student.
Lt. Wayne Ibarra said Saturday evening that around 9 a.m. Friday, a female student went to the school's office after feeling sick. Then, at 10 a.m., a male student also went to the office after he got sick. Both were taken to the hospital.
Ibarra said that a school resource officer looked into the incident and found that a female student had brought cookies from home that contained marijuana.
Ibarra said there may have been another student who got sick but may have been taken to the hospital by a parent.
Ibarra said police continue to investigate the incident. He did not have information on the status of the student who allegedly brought the cookies to school.
