Still No Arrests In Muffin Mystery Case

DALLAS (CBS 11 News) ―
There are still no arrests in the muffin mystery case at Lake Highlands High School.
Today, students at the school watched the surveillance tape that police believe shows the person delivering the tainted muffins to the school on Tuesday morning
The FBI says agents are chasing down "tons of leads." But so far, they have not identified the person who was caught on tape dropping off the tainted muffins.
Lab results show the muffins contained a marijuana extract.
Ruth Ward is the parent of a Lake Highlands student. She said, "It's just unfortunate. It's disappointing. It just shows that security really is difficult, with lots of people in and out."
Students tried to make out details on the videotape, but many said it was just too difficult. Student Jeff Jenneman saw the tape and said, "Kind of looks like a normal looking kid with sideburns and short hair. You couldn't tell anything special about the person."
Student Tiffany Bradley said, "I mean, it wasn't really clear, so we didn't really know who it was. There was not a clear picture. He walked in and walked right back out like nothing happened."
School administrators are reviewing their check-in procedures. But they say they don't want this to discourage students and parents from bringing in gifts for their teachers. Tim Clark, with the Richardson ISD, said, "We don't want to discourage anything people do to show their appreciation for the hard work our teachers do and our staff members do. Just be prepared to show identification."
The FBI says this is still being investigated by the joint terrorism task force because it is a federal offense to tamper with food products. If caught and convicted, the person responsible could get 10 years in prison.
