OROVILLE, Calif. (AP) ―
A Northern California mother has been ordered to complete a parenting class after giving a marijuana-laced brownie to her 5-year-old daughter.
Butte County Superior Court Judge Robert Glusman issued the probation order Wednesday after 32-year-old Madeline McChesney of Chico, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor child endangerment charge. The case had previously resulted in a hung jury.
The single mother claimed the brownie belonged to her roommates, who had baked the batch for medical purposes. She said she didn't realize the brownie contained pot.
Staff members at the girl's school said she reported feeling sick and was taken to a hospital, where traces of marijuana were detected in her system.
Chico is about 90 miles north of Sacramento.
