A Long Island teen sold a stash of cannabis gummies to a local middle school student — who then doled them out to his buddies and made the kids sick enough to be hospitalized, cops said Tuesday.
Jahsheem Jones, 18, of Mastic Beach peddled the gummies to a student at William Paca Middle School in May, with the youngster then sharing them with his pals and landing “multiple” kids in the hospital, Suffolk County Police said in a press release.
In all, about a dozen students, ages 13 and 14, were sickened by the THC-laced gummies at the school, which is part of the William Floyd School District, police said.
