A New Brunswick soldier accused of serving cannabis-laced cupcakes to a group of Canadian Armed Forces members in 2018 has been found guilty.
Bombardier Chelsea Cogswell was convicted Wednesday on eight counts of administering a noxious substance and on one charge of disgraceful conduct. A charge of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline has been stayed.

She was accused of serving the cupcakes to eight soldiers from a mobile field canteen she operated on July 21, 2018, on 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown in New Brunswick.
The soldiers were taking part in a major live-fire training exercise and had to stop firing their guns when they became ill and complained of feeling paranoid and anxious.
Military Judge Cmdr. Sandra Sukstorf said today she was convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that Cogswell baked the cupcakes, added cannabis to them and served them to soldiers during the exercise.
A sentencing hearing will be held in November.
