A commercial bus driver has been charged with 38 counts of reckless endangerment after blacking out behind the steering wheel while snacking on gummies he says he didn’t know were infused with THC.
Jinhuan Chen was driving 38 passengers from the Mohegan Sun Casino when he stopped the bus on the side of Interstate 95 in Stratford and slumped over unconscious in the driver’s seat, next to an open package of Smokies Edibles Cannabis Infused Fruit Chews.
Toxicology tests showed Chen had a high level of THC. Appearing before the court, Chen told the Judge that he had no idea he had been snacking on anything but regular candy.
Really ?!? The package said cannabis...take a look at the image and you tell me.
Seems to me Mr. Chen needed a bit of smoothing out for the road.
