April 14, 2004 A MAN has denied deliberately feeding two young girls spaghetti with a cannabis-laced sauce. Anthony John Patten yesterday pleaded not guilty in the South Australian District Court to two counts of administering cannabis to a child. Patten, 22, was alleged to have administered the drug to two girls, aged 2 and 4, last September at a house in Adelaide's north. He denied the charges in a hearing yesterday and was bailed to reappear again next month. Last September a Magistrates' Court hearing was told the girls were taken to hospital after allegedly eating spaghetti with a marijuana-laced sauce. Patten who was caring for a friend's children, told police he served them spaghetti with a pasta sauce containing cannabis, police prosecutor Harry Scherwitzel told the earlier Elizabeth Magistrates Court hearing. He said he had simply forgotten what was in the sauce, the court heard. The Daily Telegraph This report was published at www.dailytelegraph.com.au
