THC Gummies Linked To Prosper Graduation Celebration Hospitalizations
Two teenagers face second-degree felony charges after distributing THC-infused gummies at a Prosper graduation party last month. The gummies, which led to overdose-like symptoms and hospital visits for at least seven attendees, were purchased from a Plano smoke shop, according to arrest warrants obtained from the Prosper Police Department. Kyle Muchineuta, 17, of Prosper, and Cesar Omana, 18, of Frisco, are charged with the manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance. Records from the schools' graduation programs indicate Muchineuta attended Walnut Grove High School, while Omana attended Rock Hill High School. The incident occurred at the Prosper Graduation Celebration, held from 11 p.m. on Friday, May 16, to 3 a.m. on Saturday, May 17, at 3R's Ranch in Prosper. The event, organized by a nonprofit and not affiliated with Prosper ISD, is traditionally alcohol—and drug-free. It offers games, dancing, music, and food for seniors from Prosper's three high schools. According to the warrants, Muchineuta and Omana purchased the THC-infused gummies from A&A Smoke Shop at 3620 State Highway 121 in Plano, CBS News Texas reported. Victims paid Omana via a cash app for the edibles, which the teens then distributed at the party. Nine attendees ingested the gummies, with eight requiring hospital transport after exhibiting overdose-like symptoms. At least seven students were hospitalized. Prosper police responded to the ranch around 2:15 a.m. on May 17. The town said in a written statement, 'Paramedics from Prosper, Celina, and Frisco treated multiple individuals experiencing medical distress and transported eight patients to local hospitals.' Allan Haji, founder and owner of A&A Smoke Shop, defended his business's practices, stating, 'We do not sell to minors. Period. This isn't just a guideline—it's a non-negotiable rule that we enforce with the utmost seriousness. Every team member is trained and held accountable to verify IDs without exception.' 'If there was any breach of this policy, I will personally take full responsibility to investigate and correct it immediately,' Haji added, per CBS News. He noted that no police officers have contacted him or requested purchase records. The legal age to purchase Delta-8-THC products in Texas without a medical prescription is 21. However, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 3 last month, which would ban the sale of all THC products. Farmers, veterans, and small business owners have urged Gov. Greg Abbott to veto the bill, but if he chooses to sign the measure or allows it to pass into law without a signature, it will become effective September 1, 2025. Prosper ISD informed parents about the incident, clarifying that the event was not district-affiliated and occurred off district property. 'While we cannot provide specific details, several young adults experienced medical emergencies and required transport from the event,' the district said. 'The Town of Prosper responded quickly, and Graduation Celebration ended early. All affected young adults are receiving appropriate medical care.' On Thursday, Prosper ISD declined further comment and deferred decisions about next year's event to the graduation celebration committee.

Woman says former firefighter sexually abused her, fears he will avoid punishment
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — FOX4 spoke with a woman who said she's worried that a former metro firefighter will avoid punishment after she said he sexually assaulted her as a child. FOX4 has agreed to protect her identity. Independence police chief on leave, fires back at 'baseless rumors' in FOX4 interview The former metro firefighter, who has been hailed a hero, is charged with criminal sodomy. There was a hearing for him Thursday in Johnson County, but not much happened. The unidentified woman said she is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of Trevor Miller. The City of Overland Park and the Overland Park Fire Department (OPFD) are aware of an investigation into a former OPFD employee. 'As soon as the city became aware of the allegations, the former employee was placed on administrative leave,' a spokesperson with the OPFD told FOX4. 'Within a week of being placed on leave, the employee submitted his intention to retire immediately. 'He is no longer an employee of the city or the fire department. The city and Fire department are fully cooperating with the Johnson County Sheriff's Office investigation.' Miller was employed with the city from 1990 to 2023. 'He should be held more accountable for what he's done,' she said. 'For me, personally, growing up, I looked to him as a hero. He's a firefighter for the city. He saves lives.' Miller has been charged with one count of criminal sodomy, from an incident that happened when she was 14. The charge was filed in 2024. 'I knew Trevor growing up as my mother's friend. I saw him occasionally,' she told FOX4. The incident, which occurred in 2012, was reported to law enforcement in October of 2023. At that time, she said Miller was an adult she thought she could confide in. 'In the summer of 2012, I ended up meeting up with him,' she said. 'He took me out to look at Harleys. He taught me how to pump my gas, and he took me to his house and did inappropriate things to me and took me home.' She said she's worried that Miller may get offered a plea agreement – instead of being held accountable for what he's done. Miller has pleaded not guilty to the charge. The case was continued Thursday. The City of Overland Park's website still highlights his efforts to bring a 9/11 memorial to town. 'I don't think he is someone to be looked to as a respectable, trusted member of the community,' she said. 'People should know he's a monster.' Court documents also show that Miller was involved with the 'Camp Inferno' program, which introduced girls to firefighting—and 'he had to be reminded he wasn't there for socializing.' Records show he exchanged information with campers. 'I would definitely say there was grooming. I would definitely say there was sexual abuse,' she said. 'I do encourage people to come forward, but I definitely understand why many don't.' She told FOX4 that she remained silent until 2023, but was driven by two factors to speak out: Having a child of her own The birth of Miller's daughter FOX4 made several attempts to contact Miller's attorney by phone and email; neither inquiry was returned. FOX4 also reached out to the Johnson County District Attorney, who did not comment on the case. Miller has another hearing scheduled for mid-July. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
