BLOOMINGTON, Ind., June 5 (UPI) -- A 13-year-old girl told police at Indiana University that a green leafy substance found in fudge she distributed was lavender, not marijuana.

Police said the girl told them she had made the lavender fudge for a school project and asked her mother, an employee of the university, if she could pass out the leftovers at the college's Eigenmann Hall, the Bloomington (Ind.) Herald-Times reported Thursday.

Indiana University Police Department Capt. Jerry Minger said the leafy substance made some of the mother's co-workers suspicious, and one took a sample to police. Minger said the substance tested positive for traces of marijuana.

However, the girl came forward after the case was publicized and brought police a sample of the lavender, which registered a "weak reaction" on the marijuana test. Minger said the case is considered closed.
