A 17-year-old Connally High School student has been accused of selling pot brownies at school.

One student became ill and had to be hospitalized after eating one. According to court documents, a 15-year-old student went to the nurse's office Monday complaining about a fast heart rate. Before she was taken to the hospital, she told the nurse that she ate a brownie she bought from Heather McCurry.

The nurse approached McCurry who pulled out a plastic bag with three individually packaged brownies. Investigators say McCurry admitted to putting marijuana in them.

They say she sold one to the student who went to the hospital for $4 and another to an unidentified student. According to the affidavit, McCurry told school officials she was trying to make money to buy a laptop.

School officials wouldn't comment on specifics of the case.

"We get that type of idea that maybe someone is under the influence we act immediately. We know that students do not learn well under the influence. We will take every step we can to make sure that doesn't happen in our schools," said Barbara Gideon, Pflugerville ISD.

McCurry's school punishment will be determined in a hearing with administrators on Thursday. Gideon says it is standard for students involved with drugs in school to be removed.

McCurry faces felony charges of selling drugs to a child, which carries a punishment of two to 20 years in jail and a fine up to $10,000.
