A local woman will serve jail time stemming from a frightening incident last September at the Cokato Elementary School that left two youngsters ill.

“Two young children became ill from ingesting a chocolate bar containing hallucinogenic mushrooms. Cassie Tauriainen pleaded guilty to 5th degree drug possession after her 5-year-old daughter and one of her daughter’s classmates consumed the chocolate.”
The woman’s daughter reported finding the candy in the refrigerator at her mother’s residence. Law enforcement found other drugs and paraphernalia in the home during a search.
Taurianinen, 40-years of age of Buffalo, was sentenced to 90 days in jail, with credit for time served. Her probation terms include staying away from alcohol, marijuana and all other drugs. She will also need to go through a chemical dependency assessment, and random testing.
