A high school student in Maryland is under fire after giving a teacher a pot brownie which ultimately resulted in the woman's hospitalization. 

The Smoking Gun reports that the woman, a teacher at Broadneck High School in Annapolis, Md., became ill on Monday afternoon. She reportedly told authorities that she was given a brownie by a student, and, as a result of her condition, suspected that it contained marijuana. 

Authorities approached the unidentified 16-year-old, who confessed to giving both the teacher and his girlfriend part of a weed brownie. The Smoking Gun notes that his girlfriend was seen "acting lethargic." However, the teen said he did not give the teacher the brownie out of malice:

The student, who was not identified by police, said that when the teacher asked him for a piece of the brownie, he got scared and panicked” and “didn’t mention it contained marijuana.

The teacher was treated and released from a local hospital, and the student was charged for reckless endangerment and assault, in addition to the obvious drug charges.
