One of the students at De Anza High School in Richmond, about 17
miles northeast of San Francisco, collapsed in a classroom, while
the other made it to the school office before being rushed to the
hospital, said Richmond Police Department Lieutenant Al Walle.
Both students were unconscious, unresponsive and in critical
condition when they were taken to the hospital, police said. One has
since been treated and released, while the other remained under
observation, Walle said.
Three other students became nauseous after eating the cookies, but
were not hospitalized, police said.
A 17-year-old female student was arrested for selling the cookies,
at $3 each or $5 for two, and was taken to a juvenile detention
center, Walle said. The school was moving to expel the minor, police
said.
