The Gwinnett Police Department wants to warn parents to pay special attention to the gummy bears their kids may bring home.

Officers confiscated THC-laced gummy bears during a recent traffic stop on Martins Chapel Road and Sugarloaf Parkway.

“After the driver was escorted out of the vehicle, that’s when the officer made a discovery of a large quantity of marijuana possibly for the intention to distribute,” says Cpl. Michele Pihera, adding, “But he also found three packs of gummy bears that had THC in them.”

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the chemical compound in marijuana that results in a euphoric high.

Police charged 41-year-old Michael Tarver on three counts of possession and are hoping to get the word out to parents.

“We don’t want teenagers or young kids coming home with these gummy bears and parents not knowing exactly what they are,” says Pihera.

She says the packages all had labels indicating they contained THC.
