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.
