Stupid Stoner
Police officers in Blue Mound didn't think much of the cookies dropped off at their station Monday night until they got a whiff of them.

Overpowering the chocolate chips was the pungent smell of marijuana.

"It reeked of it," said Lt. Thomas Cain, a Blue Mound police spokesman. "It wasn't hard to tell. Anyone that's been around marijuana before would have known."

It turns out that wasn't the only drug-laced cookie delivery in North Texas.

During his arrest, police found a list of 25 police agencies across Dallas and Tarrant counties that they presume Mr. Phillips targeted. Thirteen of those stations were checked off the list.

Three stations confirmed Tuesday that they received a similar package. Some officers in Fort Worth and Watauga ate the suspect cookies.

"There were no ill effects that we were told of," said Detective Jason Babcock of the Watauga Police Department.

On Monday night, Mr. Phillips dropped off cookies in a wicker basket about 6:30 p.m. at the Blue Mound station, Lt. Cain said. A card from MADD was attached.

"MADD doesn't normally drop off homemade cookies," Lt. Cain said. "We usually get a package or something from them. It was already suspicious."

The cookies, which tested positive for marijuana, were not eaten by anyone in Blue Mound.

But a similar delivery of cookies and candy also arrived at the downtown headquarters of the Fort Worth Police Department Monday night. At least three officers, including a sergeant and a detective, ate some of the items, Lt. Paul Henderson said in a written statement. The names of the officers have not been released.

On Tuesday morning, Blue Mound police alerted authorities in Lake Worth, where they believed Mr. Phillips was headed. They also contacted MADD, which notified other police agencies.

"We are profoundly concerned about this incident and are conducting our own investigation at this time to determine the facts," Mary Kardell, executive director of MADD North Texas, said in a written statement.

Police arrested Mr. Phillips around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday when he attempted to drop off cookies in Lake Worth, officers said.

Mr. Phillips faces a felony charge of tampering with a consumer good and another felony charge of possession of a controlled substance. He remained in Lake Worth City Jail on Tuesday and is expected to have a bail hearing today.

Mr. Phillips could face more charges as authorities receive toxicology results on the suspect cookies.

Last year, two men who faced similar charges for delivering pot-laced muffins to teachers and staff at Richardson ISD's Lake Highlands High School in 2006 received deferred adjudication probation in a Dallas County court.
