An investigation is underway after several students from a Douglas County Middle School ingested marijuana edible gummies with one of them getting sick.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office says a 12-year-old girl told a resource officer she had a strange feeling.
It was later determined that the edibles which contained THC were stolen from a student's father and then brought to a local middle school on Thursday, the sheriff's office said in a release.
"Although this was a severe case, it is fortunate that this was not more severe."
The sheriff's office says they routinely encounter counterfeit prescription pills that contain fentanyl that were smuggled from Mexico. They say the fake pills are usually blue and have a M-30 stamp, but they could be made to look like any legitimate prescription or non-prescription pill.
