He was brought to the office, and additional brownies were located upon search, by school officials, of his backpack. A second student was also located in possession of a brownie and had additional marijuana in his backpack, which was located upon search, by school officials.

As police processed the two male juveniles at the Kealakehe Police Station, a second female juvenile at Kealakehe High School was reported to “experience a medical emergency related to the ingestion of a brownie.”

The second female juvenile was also transported to the Kona Hospital by medics. Police say she was admitted for observation “after an elevated heart rate that was not subsiding.”
