Cookies from West Monroe shop investigated

Metro Narcotics of Ouachita Parish is investigating allegations of cookies from a specialty bakery were laced with marijuana.

Captain Doug Schmitz of Metro Narcotics said the unit received complaints about cookies from Crumbl Cookies on Constitution Drive in West Monroe. Some of the complaints included reports of cookies smelling of marijuana.

The allegations were posted on Facebook by a customer who has since removed the post.

The bakery, which has not commented on the matter, is temporarily closed.

Schmitz said investigators gathered materials to send to the crime lab for testing and that the investigation is continuing.
