We've probably all thought at one time or another how hilarious it would be to dose a police officer. Okay, maybe not, but 
the idea is pretty funny in a Flirting with Disaster sort of way. Not so much to 18-year-old Texan Christian V. Phillips, who is currently being accused of delivering baskets of drug-laced cookies to a dozen or so police departments in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, according to police who charged him Tuesday with LSD possession. At least three officers have "gotten sick." (Translation: they lost their shit for about an hour, began questioning their existence as law enforcement representatives and as human beings in general, and eventually parked themselves in front of the television and stayed up all night laughing at infomercials.)
Cookie Monster could not be reached for comment.
UPDATE: Turns out Phillips was wrongly accused; apparently, lab tests by the Tarrant County medical examiner show that there was, in fact, NO traces of any controlled substances in the cookies. (The cops were going by "field traces" and apprently the ones who claimed sickness simply didn't enjoy the cookies.)
