Girls make cookies w/Ex-Lax for teacher

Authorities in Maine charged Julie Hunt, 43, of New Portland with helping to spike the cookies for her daughter's teacher with Ex-Lax (laxative). Police said Hunt's daughter and two other teenage girls baked the cookies using an entire box of the laxative.

The goodies were left on the teacher's desk April 10 with a note saying, "We made these cookies just for you, hope you enjoy them."
Hunt was arrested Friday after an investigation into the prank that sickened four seventh- and eighth-grade children at Carrabec Community School..

A police affidavit filed in court indicates Hunt told three girls how to crush the laxative pills and mix them in with the cookie batter.

School Principal Mary Adley called police after hearing two girls talking about the incident. The three girls were suspended but do not face criminal charges. Hunt has pleaded not guilty to a charge of misdemeanor assault. Article here.
