Tammy Sigurdur, one of two people accused of distributing cannabis candies to children as young as six in a south Tuxedo neighborhood last Halloween, has pleaded guilty to two counts related to "inadvertently providing the items” on October 31, 2022. The charges against Sigurdur and Sheldon Chochinov were announced earlier this year for several offenses, including 13 counts each of distributing cannabis to a young person and distributing cannabis knowing it's illicit. The two offenses Sigurdur pleaded guilty to were not criminal but regulatory in nature. Police reported more than a dozen reports of cannabis candies being handed out to trick-or-treaters in Tuxedo, Winnipeg after Halloween last year. Chochinov and Sigurdur were arrested after searching a home on Coleraine Crescent. The candies were given out in zipped sandwich bags, with packaging suggesting they contained 600 milligrams of the psychoactive property in cannabis known as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). In Canada, edibles are legally only allowed to contain 10 milligrams per package.
