Teacher Accused of Giving Denver Middle School Students Cannabis Brownies
- In 2024, a middle school educator at Denver’s Kepner Beacon was convicted of two misdemeanor child abuse charges after giving students brownies containing marijuana as an incentive.
- The case began after two boys won a Greek and Latin root word contest in Wilson's class and were given brownies on June 3, 2024, which one student said had a weird sour taste and made him feel nauseous and disoriented.
- Wilson's attorney denied the brownies contained drugs, stating they were regular baked goods from a previous batch, and argued there was no motive to drug students, while prosecutors highlighted that the brownies tested positive for THC.
- A 13-year-old testified that after eating the brownie, he experienced head pain and dizziness, requiring his friends to assist him to his mother’s car. Prosecutor Brad Watts urged the jury to find the defendant guilty on both counts, which include negligence causing bodily injury and negligence without bodily injury.
- Wilson was put on paid leave by Denver Public Schools following the conclusion of the 2023-2024 school year and officially parted ways with the district before the 2024-2025 school year began, while the investigation and sentencing process are still ongoing.
