Couple Left Child Who Ate THC Gummy Home, Attended LSU Game: Police

Police said the couple knew the child had eaten the gummy and instead left the 4-year-old under another juvenile’s care for eight hours.

  • On Sept 13, the Scott Police Department responded to reports of a 4-year-old who ingested a THC gummy, subsequently arresting parents Mary Cormier and David Butts.
  • Authorities learned the couple knew the child consumed the gummy but left the child under another juvenile's supervision to attend an LSU game in Baton Rouge instead of seeking medical attention.
  • Cormier and Butts returned home eight hours later to find the child breathing but unresponsive; the 4-year-old was transported to a hospital and remains in the ICU.
  • The parents face multiple charges, including Second-degree cruelty to juveniles, child desertion, and three counts of contributing to the delinquency of juveniles, police said.
  • Scott Police Department officials continue investigating the incident while the child receives ongoing treatment for THC ingestion in the city of Scott.
