Mom Said to Help Girls Bake Ex-Lax Cookies

SKOWHEGAN, Maine May 9, 2006 (AP)— A 43-year-old woman is charged with helping her daughter and two other teenage girls bake cookies laced with a laxative that were then given to a teacher.

Julie Hunt appeared in Skowhegan District Court on Monday and pleaded innocent to a charge of misdemeanor assault.

Hunt was arrested Friday after a police investigation into the attempted prank at Carrabec Community School in Anson that sickened four seventh- and eighth-grade children.

The cookies, which were baked with Ex-Lax, were left on the teacher's desk on April 10 with a note saying, "We made these cookies just for you, hope you enjoy them."

According to a police affidavit, Hunt told the girls how to crush the laxative pills and mix them in with the cookie batter. The girls, who are 13 and 14, used an entire box of pills, the affidavit says.

Mary Adley, the principal of the school, called police on April 24 after hearing two girls talking about the incident.

Maine State Police Lt. Dale Lancaster said that the girls were not facing criminal charges. The affidavit said all three girls were suspended by school officials.

But Hunt's involvement could not be overlooked, Lancaster said.

"If you assist children with perpetrating these kinds of crimes, you will be charged," he said.

Dehydration, circulatory collapse, death. Yes it's possible, if not treated in a timely and proper manner.

I put crushed laxative pills on my sisters Papa Johns pizza one time, but to my dismay the desired result never happened. I just wasn't ambitious enough with the dosage I guess.

I just spit all over my food at work, that way everyone wins: The perp gets the satisfaction of eating food he/she didn't pay for, I get the satisfaction of knowing the perp ate food laced with my saliva. We're all happy! Of course, before I leave for my next assignment I'll send out the memo that this system has been secretly in place for the last three years. I wouldn't want the poor theif to be completly oblivious forever.
