POLICE have arrested a man after his five-year-old stepson brought 50 packets of heroin to school for show and tell.
The US boy went to kindergarten in Bridgewater, Connecticut, on
Monday with his stepfather's jacket and pulled out the drugs in 10
small plastic bags when it came time for his presentation to the class,
police told the Connecticut Post.
The teacher grabbed the bags away from the boy, and the principal called police.
The boy's stepfather, Santos Roman, 35, was arrested after arriving at the school.
Roman
was searching the school for his stepson when he saw the jacket in an
empty classroom, grabbed it and ran out of the school, police spokesman
Keith Bryant told the newspaper. He said police, who had already seized
the drugs, then took Roman into custody.
Roman was
detained on $US100,000 ($97,309) bail on risk of injury to a minor and
drug charges. It's not clear if Roman has a lawyer.
The boy was put into state custody until other relatives could be located.
