On Wednesday, April 18, 2018, at Great Mills High School, in Great Mills, a school employee became aware a student was ill and possibly suffering from an overdose, due to eating a brownie which contained THC/CBG, which is derived from marijuana plants.
Corporal Kristi Nelson from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office was notified and a joint investigation with the St. Mary’s County Public Schools was initiated.
The investigation determined a fifteen year old female student made the brownies containing marijuana and subsequently sold them at school.
Numerous students consumed the brownies and became ill. Two students were ultimately transported to a local hospital for treatment.
The juvenile suspect who made and sold the brownies was charged with the following:
- CDS: Distribution School Property

The investigation is ongoing and has been continued by detectives from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division.
