Police warn parents about drug-laced items
By Megan Gray
Staff Writer
mgray @ dentonrc.com
The Corinth Police Depart-
ment is urging parents to be
aware of a possible new trend in
illegal drug sales after recently
confiscating a small batch of
drug-laced candy and soda.
Police spokesman Lt. Jimmie
Gregg said the items appear to
be large gummy bears, candy
bars, hard candies and even so-
da pop that all contain tetrahy-
drocannabinol, also known as
THC, which is the main active
chemical compound found in
marijuana.
He said the department only
confiscated a small batch earlier
this week, but ofiicers are al-
ready looking into what might
be a new trend of concern for
law enforcement in the Dallas-
Fort Worth area.
“These items came from Col-
orado where it’s legal, but once it
crosses state lines, these items
are illegal,” he said Friday.
Gregg said ofiicers have been
sharing their findings with Den-
ton County law enforcement
agencies and so far, this seems to
be an isolated incident.
“This newtrend is goingto be
hard on police because this isn’t
what we are typically looking for
and brings law enforcement an-
other issue to deal with,” he said.
Gregg said that while no
schools in the area have had is-
sues with the drug-laced candies
yet, it’s something parents and
teachers need to keep an eye out
for.
“If a 2- or even 4-year-old
gets a hold of a large gummy
bear laced with THC, it’s a very
potent chemical that could
cause harm,” he said.
Additional information
about the isolated incident is not
being released while officials are
conducting a thorough investi-
gation.
“Right now, we need to let
this serve as a public service an-
nouncement so everyone will be
on the lookout,” he said.
Anyone who has information
or questions about the drug-
laced items may contact the po-
lice at 940-498-2017.
