Crime-scene-300x243A northwest Iowa teenager faces a felony drug charge for allegedly distributing what are sometimes called “magic mushrooms.”

A Storm Lake teen has been charged after police investigated a report of a boy ingesting illegal, hallucinogenic mushrooms at the Storm Lake High School. Police learned the juvenile allegedly acquired the illegal mushrooms at the high school from another student, a 16-year-old male from Storm Lake.

The victim was taken to the hospital in Storm Lake for treatment and later released.

Police charged the 16-year-old with delivery of a controlled substance, a Class C felony. He was taken to the youth detention facility in Cherokee, awaiting an appearance in juvenile court.
