Two Dallas students who baked marijuana muffins sentenced to probation

by PegNews wire

Ian McConnell Walker and Joseph Tellini, the high school students who baked marijuana into muffins and brought them to the Lake Highland High School teachers' lounge as a senior prank in May 2006, were sentenced on Friday. As part of a plea deal, Tellini will serve probation for seven years; Walker will serve two years of deferred adjudication probation. Both will also perform community service at a homeless shelter and pay $13,000 in restitution. Tellini was the mastermind who baked 40 muffins using a recipe he found on the Internet; Walker delivered them to the lounge. The Houston Chronicle says that 18 employees were hospitalized; the DMN says it was 19 teachers and other employees who ate the muffins and complained of dizziness, dry mouth, unsteadiness, and impaired speech.

Yeah, and I'll bet they were laughing at random, and jonesin' for twinkies.

Some of the teachers back in my high school days could have used a good buzz- would have improved their personalities greatly.

And c'mon, unless the kids put something really dangerous in the muffins- it's just pot, it's not going to hurt you. Eighteen people going to the hospital is a little silly. Sit down, relax, have a cookie.

Come on, Teresa, this story was perfectly set up to use "baked" as a joke, like "Students bake pot muffins to get teachers baked." You whiffed, T-Gubbs. :)

Alex, gotta say...your headline writing skills don't seem superior to TG's by any means. I'm here from the Department of Redundancy department to stamp out, eliminate, and abolish such criticism.
