BANGOR, Maine (AP) Officials say cookies dropped off at a Maine day care that staff members complained made them feel high contained no illicit substances whatsoever.

About a dozen staff members at Bangor’s Watch Me Shine day care reported feeling intoxicated Feb. 14 after they ate Valentine’s Day cookies dropped off by a parent. The Bangor Daily News reports police seized the remaining cookies for testing.

Bangor Police Sgt. Wade Betters said Monday that none of the cookies tested positive for controlled substances.

Police don’t know what caused the staff to feel funny, and say there aren’t any charges pending. The day care now prohibits outside food for children and staff, and no children ate the cookies.
