Police on Tuesday arrested a teen they said delivered LSD-laced cookies to at least two police departments.

They said Christian Phillips of Watauga, Texas, made his first delivery on Monday -- stopping by the Blue Mound Police Department to drop off a batch. The 18-year-old said he also planned to deliver cookies to Lake Worth Police Department, police said.

Blue Mound officers said they noticed the cookies smelled of marijuana, so they called Lake Worth to alert them of the pending delivery.

However, Phillips did not show up to his second stop until 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday. When he did, Lake Worth officers detained him. They said the cookies also smelled of marijuana and that preliminary tests confirmed they contained the powerful hallucinogenic drug LSD.

Police also said that a Tarrant County Sheriff's dog indicated a positive result for marijuana on the cookies, and Phillips' money and car.

Fort Worth police might also have received a batch of the tainted treats. According to the department, it received a Monday night delivery of cookies and other goodies.

At least three officers, including a sergeant and detective, consumed some of the items, police said.

In response to the incident, the department released this statement: "The department is currently contacting officers who worked the overnight shift who were possibly exposed last night. .... If we are able to confirm the existence of LSD or any other drug or chemical in the tainted food items we will pursue filing charges."

Phillips, who has a prior arrest for assaulting a police officer in Watauga, is a volunteer for Mothers Against Drunk Driving as part of a community service sentence, police said.

He was apparently delivering the cookies on behalf on MADD but it was not clear if he might have tainted the treats or switched out the orginals with the ones laced with drugs.

The executive director of MADD's North Texas chapter, Mary Kardell, released this statment: "We are profoundly concerned about this incident and are conducting our own investigation at this time to determine the facts. We support law enforcement and were trying to show our appreciation. We know we couldn't do our job without them, and we are grateful for all the work they do to keep our streets safe."

Charges are pending against Phillips.
