MOORHEAD (WDAY) — Moorhead police have arrested two parents after “candy” suspected of containing THC made several middle school students sick.
The Moorhead Police Department announced on Wednesday, May 20, the arrests of 40-year-old Martin Jay Hulst and 43-year-old Amanda Rhae Hulst. The Moorhead couple was identified as the parents of a child who brought “candy” that police believe contained THC to Horizon Middle School on Monday, according to a news release.
The candy made 10 students sick, according to the Moorhead Police Department. Two students were taken by ambulance to a local hospital, and the others were released to their parents, the police department said.
Officers searched a home in the 1100 block of 10½ St. N. on Tuesday, according to the release. Police found suspected THC products, including flower, cartridges and wax, as well psychedelic mushrooms and a “large amount of cash,” the release said.
The Hulsts were not present during the search but were arrested early Wednesday in Moorhead, police said.
Martin Hulst is being held at the Clay County Jail on a first-degree felony charge of possessing a controlled substance, according to jail logs. Amanda Hulst also is in custody at the jail on a first-degree felony of selling narcotics, the jail logs said.
“Multiple juveniles residing in the home have been referred to Clay County Social Services,” the release said. This investigation remains active. No further information is available at this time.”
