Second-Grader Brings Pot On School Trip

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- A Bridgeport second-grader who brought more than a dozen bags of marijuana to school will not face criminal charges -- but his uncle will.

Police said the 8-year-old found his 18-year-old uncle's stash, and brought it on a school field trip Friday to show friends.

A teacher found the boy stuffing bags of marijuana into his pockets during the trip to Yale's Peabody Museum of Natural History.

The school said the boy will not face any discipline because officials did not find any malice on his part.

His uncle, 18-year-old Albert Davidson of Stamford, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of marijuana with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school and risk of injury to a minor. He was released after posting a $1,000 bond.
