Cheerleader allegedly brings pot brownies to school for homecoming queen votes, police say

USA TODAY NETWORK Ashley May, USA TODAY Published 12:28 p.m. ET Oct. 4, 2018 | Updated 5:46 p.m. ET Oct. 4, 2018

A 17-year-old cheerleader at a Michigan high school is accused of giving pot brownies to fellow students in hopes they'd vote for her as homecoming queen.

The student, now the subject of a criminal investigation, allegedly brought 12 marijuana-laced brownies to Hartford High School on September 26, authorities say.

Hartford patrolman Michael Prince, who is investigating the incident, told WWMT-TV that some of the brownies, nine of which are unaccounted for, were given to football players in "goody bags" as a way to campaign for homecoming queen.

In a letter sent home to parents, Hartford Public Schools said they were contacted by state police following an anonymous tip that students were eating pot brownies at the school. The school confirmed the report and involved students "are being dealt with" according to district policies and student handbooks, superintendent Andrew Hubbard said in a statement.

A high school cheerleader gave out pot brownies to win homecoming votes, police say

A few days before her high school’s homecoming game, a cheerleader in Hartford, Mich., allegedly executed a sophisticated plot in her bid for queen.

Police told TV station WWMT that the 17-year-old at Hartford High School wanted the crown so badly that she showed up to school with a clever, but illegal, bit of homemade homecoming swag: a dozen pot brownies.

In the weeks prior, the girl had been nominated as a finalist for homecoming queen. Police say she hoped the brownies would sway her classmates to cast the votes she would need to win the title.

Unfortunately for the teen, her quest for royalty was unsuccessful.

Hubbard says she did not attend Friday classes after the alleged plot was uncovered and was barred from participating in homecoming ceremonies.
