Boy 4 Marijuana Snack Time

Boy, four, pulls out nine bags of marijuana 'to SHARE with other students' during snack time

It may have been snack time at this Connecticut school, but there were a different kind of munchies in mind when a boy displayed nine bags of pot.

Police in the town of Meriden were called to Hanover Elementary School yesterday after the four-year-old special needs student pulled nine baggies of marijuana from his jacket pocket, not knowing what they were.


The boy reportedly announced to his teacher that he was offering to share them with other students for snack time.

Principal Miguel Cardona said the quick-thinking teacher scooped up the drugs before the other students noticed what he had.

Meriden police said the nine individually wrapped bags of marijuana appeared prepared for sale.

Superintendent Mark Benigni said in a press conference yesterday that the boy is not at fault and has not been disciplined.

Mr Benigni said: 'This student had no idea what he brought to school or what the substance was'.

He added: 'This is clearly an adult issue, and that’s why the proper authorities were contacted.'

Police have not yet released the names of the boy's parents, and no arrests have been made in the case.

Cops said there is a possibility that charges would be filed pending the outcome of their investigation.

The Connecticut Department of Children and Families is also investigating the incident.
