Welcome to Arrest Stories. A thirty-nine-year-old Minnesota mother faces drug possession and child endangerment charges after her daughter allegedly brought magic mushroom chocolate bars to elementary school, causing two students to become ill. Here's what may have happened.
On September tenth, twenty twenty-five, the Wright County Sheriff's Office received an urgent call from Cokato Elementary School. Two young students were showing alarming signs of a drug overdose shortly after snack time, sending the school into immediate crisis mode.
The investigation quickly revealed a disturbing chain of events. According to police reports, one student had brought chocolate bars from her mother's apartment refrigerator to share with a classmate. The packaging clearly labeled the treats as "Mmeld Magic Mushroom" chocolate bars, each containing six grams of psychedelic mushrooms.
The girl who brought the chocolate appeared to have consumed most of the bar herself, while sharing portions with another student. Both children began exhibiting symptoms consistent with psilocybin mushroom ingestion during what should have been a routine school day.
The chocolate bars were allegedly taken from the apartment of thirty-nine-year-old Cassie Taurianen in Cokato, Minnesota. The packaging left no question about the contents, yet the dangerous substances were apparently stored in a location accessible to children.
Emergency responders rushed to treat the affected students as school officials worked to understand how controlled substances ended up in an elementary classroom. The incident highlights serious questions about drug storage and child safety in homes where illegal substances are present.
By Friday following the incident, formal charges were filed against Taurianen for drug possession and child endangerment. The case underscores the potential consequences when adults fail to secure dangerous substances away from curious children.
The investigation continues as authorities work to determine the full circumstances surrounding this troubling incident that put young lives at risk.
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
