Scott Foley and Wife Marika Sue School Board over Son’s Pot-Laced Candy Incident

Scott Foley and his wife Marika Foley filed a lawsuit against the Westport, Connecticut, Board of Education, Board Chairman Lee Goldstein, Superintendent Thomas Scarice, bus company DATTCO, Inc., DATTCO President Donald Devivo, and the bus driver.

On December 12, 2022, the Foleys’ son and Elizabeth Carpenter’s daughter, who was staying with Foleys, ingested a bag of pot-laced candy left on the school bus by another student.

The lawsuit alleged that a subsequent police investigation revealed the bag was left by a 15-year-old high school student who had been on the bus before the elementary school children.

The lawsuit also stated that the kids told the Foleys’ nanny right away when they got home that they had eaten some chocolate that they had found on the bus.

After an hour, the children experienced symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and stomach issues, leading to a hospital visit that extended for several hours.

The caretaker called the Foleys and reported that the children did not appear to be well. When Scott and Marika got home, their son’s friend’s face had turned pale and their own boy looked ill and lethargic.

After that, the kids were transported by ambulance to Norwalk Hospital, where medical professionals performed a toxicology test and discovered the kids had consumed cannabis.

The lawsuit also claimed Foley’s son was intoxicated for over thirty hours and the two kids weren’t allowed to leave the hospital until midnight.

Additionally, the suit alleged that the school board failed to uphold its policy of providing a “safe and orderly environment” for students, resulting in the Foleys’ children being bullied and labeled as drug addicts.
