A Wisconsin woman was caught with her hand in the cookie jar on Sunday when St. Patrick’s Day parade attendees reported she was handing out marijuana-laced treats, police said.

Cathleen Krause, 57, was arrested after a person told police the 57-year-old woman was handing out cookies with marijuana in them, FOX11 reported. Police then approached Krause, who was “visibly intoxicated” and reeked of “alcohol and marijuana on her breath,” the arrest affidavit stated.
