A 45-year-old lunch lady was arrested in Louisiana for allegedly selling weed edibles to high school kids.
On January 20, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office released a statement on Facebook detailing the incident with the substitute cafeteria woman, Tymetrica Cohn.
The post read, “Earlier this week, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office received an anonymous tip that a student purchased “edible marijuana” from a school employee. TPSO Narcotics agents began investigating the complaint and soon identified Cohn as the suspect.”

According to Superintendent Melissa Stilley, Cohn was employed by ESS, a staffing service used to place substitute employees in schools.”
The post detailed Cohn’s arrest and charge details stating, “Cohn was arrested and charged with:
(1) count – Possession/Distribution of CDS I
(1) count – Distribution of a CDS in a Drug-Free Zone.”
