High School Student Accused of Giving Teacher Marijuana-Laced Cookies
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Wilmington high school student accused of giving her teacher drug-laced cookies is going to trial.
Police said 17-year-old Elizabeth Ann Coleman put marijuana into cookies and gave them to a Spanish teacher at Laney High School. An arrest warrant said the teacher ate the cookies and became "mentally incapacitated."
Coleman is charged with two felony counts of contaminating food with a controlled substance. Assistant District Attorney Tom Old said Friday that the maximum jail sentence for a top-scale offender is 25 months.

Court documents say Coleman has been released without bond into the custody of Ken Coleman.
