PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (WHDH) - Police in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, are warning parents after marijuana-laced lollipops were found circulating through the city’s high school.
Police said a student at Portsmouth High School was either selling or passing the candy around at school last week. When approached, police said the student took off.
Police believe the student discarded some of the candy in a wooded area with paths used by students and other residents. One of the lollipops was found there. Police posted a photo of the lollipop, which is yellow, with a clear wrapper and red tie. Residents are asked to contact police if they find one.
“There’s a preschool at the high school. We have a track trail, so kids go there and if they find that stuff, it would be bad,” said Portsmouth High School senior Travis Durand.
According to police, the student made the marijuana lollipops himself. Officers know who they are looking for and said the student will face charges in family court.
