Three high school students could face criminal charges after allegedly passing out brownies secretly laced with marijuana to 23 of their classmates at a summer band camp last week.
Police say none of the students at O’Fallon Township High School experienced any ill-effects from the apparent pot brownie prank, but the Aug. 1 situation could have ended badly.
“Any time anybody is given drugs or something else without their knowledge that can obviously be a health hazard,” O’Fallon police Sgt. Rob Schmidtke said. “We won’t let this slide. It could have been a very big deal.”
He said police are still investigating. The high school will be taking action, he said.
Police said they learned of the prank after one of the involved students told another what they had done, and that student told a school official.
Schmidtke said he was unsure whether the brownies had been tested yet to confirm they were laced with marijuana, but based on what the students confessed to, “it could have been an interesting band practice.”
