Police said multiple attendees became sick at the event, known as the Prosper Graduation Celebration. It was scheduled to take place from 11 p.m. on Friday, May 16, to 3 a.m. on Saturday, May 17.
According to arrest warrants, the two teens purchased the THC-infused gummies at A&A Smoke Shop, located at 3620 State Highway 121 in Plano. The documents indicate that victims paid Omana via a cash app for the edibles, which were then distributed to attendees by Omana and Muchineuta.
Nine known victims ingested the gummies, with seven requiring hospital transport after showing overdose-like symptoms, police records show.
Nonprofit hosted the celebration
According to its website, the event is organized by a nonprofit at 3R's Ranch in Prosper and is not affiliated with the school district. The event, open to seniors from all three Prosper high schools, is traditionally alcohol- and drug-free, with activities including games, dancing, music, and food.
Prosper police responded to the ranch around 2:15 a.m. on Saturday, May 17.
In a statement, the town said, "Paramedics from Prosper, Celina, and Frisco treated multiple individuals experiencing medical distress and transported eight patients to local hospitals."
School district addresses incident
Following the celebration, Prosper ISD informed senior parents about the situation, emphasizing that the event was organized by Graduation Celebration, not the district, and did not take place on district property.
"We wanted to relay information about the incident at Graduation Celebration," Prosper ISD said. "While we cannot provide specific details, several young adults experienced medical emergencies and required transport from the event. 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 to provide further comments regarding the arrest warrants. Instead, they deferred any decisions about next year's event to the graduation celebration committee.
CBS News Texas will provide additional updates as new information becomes available.
