A state employee won’t be heading to work for a little bit after a baking incident sent some people to the hospital.
The Connecticut Department of Development Services placed an employee on administrative leave after prescription pills were found in a cake served at a home for disabled people Sunday in Cheshire.
The worker will be on leave while the agency investigates the incident, the department spokeswoman Joan Barnish said. The employee's name has not been released.
Five residents of the home who ate the cake on Sunday were taken to area hospitals, but Barnish says none of them suffered any ill effects.
Barnish said the pills were an antihistamine.
State police said the employee told them that a bottle of her prescription medication spilled while she was making the cake, but she didn't realize that some of the pills fell into the batter.
No criminal charges have been filed.
