Lavrius Watson, 26, told police he suffered adverse effects from a weed cookie that made him stab 41-year-old Elizabeth Bennett to death inside her home.
The Pocono Record reported that Watson exited the house through the back covered in blood and collapsed onto the grass in front of police asking"Why did I do that?"
Court papers obtained by The Pocono Record stated that Watson called 911 himself to report that"somebody got killed." Allegedly Watson told investigators that he and Bennett split a cookie that contained pot after she returned home from dinner with one of her children. He believed he had an"adverse effect."
According to reports, when Watson called 911 he was audibly crying and told the operator he killed a woman with a knife but couldn't remember seeing the weapon or where he'd left it, he also asked for an ambulance. Watson also told the operator that one of the children, a 10-year-old boy, was somewhere inside the home. The other child was not home at the time of the incident.
Watson told authorities he believed he had an adverse reaction to the marijuana inside the cookie which caused him to grab a kitchen knife and stab Bennett repeatedly, The Pocono Record reported.
