Magic Mushroom Gummies Given to Trick-or-Treaters
6 Nov
Summary
- Two men arrested after giving magic mushroom gummies to children.
- Parents discovered unusual packaging and intervened on Halloween.
- Police seized illegal firearms and significant drug quantities.
Two men were taken into custody in Ocean Beach, California, following allegations of distributing psilocybin-infused gummies to young trick-or-treaters on Halloween night. The incident involved at least 15 children between the ages of 1 and 6 who received the drugged candy.
Parents noticed the peculiar packaging, featuring a giraffe design and explicit dosage information, and confronted the residents before contacting the police. Subsequent testing confirmed the presence of psilocybin in the gummies.
During a search warrant execution at a local residence, detectives arrested Michael Goff, 80, and Shawn Michael Foster, 45. They were booked on suspicion of being convicted felons in possession of firearms and ammunition. The seizure included an illegally possessed rifle, a partially assembled pistol, dozens of live ammunition rounds, over 2.5 pounds of cannabis, and more than 25 grams of crystal methamphetamine.
Although direct charges related to the drug distribution have not yet been filed, psilocybin gummies identical to those distributed were found at the residence. Authorities are seeking further information from the public regarding the case.
